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.

“Q. What’s the hardest part now about his death and the way he died? A. Well, when I think about the way he died, I can’t help but feel sort of angry because I just feel like it was so useless. Mr. Johnson [defense counsel]: Your Honor, I sincerely apologize, but I think we’re going out of the bounds now. The court: All right, Sir. I’ll allow it. Go ahead. A. Somebody — this man who shot my son — said that he ran out of the store, and when he realized he was going to be arrested, he laid down on the ground and said, “Don’t shoot; don’t kill me; don’t kill me.” But he didn’t think about that when my son was lying on the floor in front of him in the store saying “Don’t do this; don’t do this.” And — well, it hurts.”
