Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 61 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) resulted in a decision that was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established Federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States; or (2) resulted in a decision that was based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“In any event, emphasizing intoxication [and drug abuse] at the time of [the] murder, or a history of drinking [and cocaine abuse] in general, could have damaged [Petitioner’s] case for life before the []sentencing jury. [W]e note that emphasizing [the Petitioner’s] alcoholism] and intoxication may also have been damaging to [the Petitioner] in the eyes of the jury. [A] showing of alcohol and drug abuse is a two-edged sword which can harm a capital defendant as easily as it can help him at sentencing. Precedents show that many lawyers justifiably fear introducing evidence of alcohol and drug use.” ... [A] defendant’s voluntary drug and alcohol use could be perceived by the jury as aggravating instead of mitigating[.]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“A state court decision is “contrary to” clearly established federal law if either (1) the state court applied a rule that contradicts the governing law set forth by Supreme Court case law, or (2) when faced with materially indistinguishable facts, the state court arrived at a result different from that reached in a Supreme Court case. A state court conducts an “unreasonable application” of clearly established federal law if it identifies the correct legal rule from Supreme Court case law but unreasonably applies that rule to the facts of the petitioner’s case.”
