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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Even though another attorney may have chosen a different course, trial strategy, even if it proves unsuccessful, is a matter of professional judgment. Furthermore, in light of the totality of evidence presented, counsel’s performance during the penalty phase was not deficient, and Mr. Jackson’s contention that trial counsel should have used the same strategy in his second murder trial as that used in his first murder trial fails. Mr. Jackson, already serving a life sentence for the first murder, planned and committed another murder. The jury was made aware that this was Mr. Jackson’s second murder charge and to contend that the strategy during the penalty phase should be the same for two substantially different murders must fail. Accordingly, on this point, we affirm the denial of Rule 37 relief.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Mr. Jackson makes only eonclusory statements concerning whether further examination might have led to the determination that an organic cause of mental illness was present. Mr. Jackson explains that if CT, PET, or MRI tests had been performed, the tests might have resulted in some showing of an organic cause of some mental illness.... We will not grant post conviction relief for ineffective assistance of counsel where the petitioner fails to show what the omitted testimony or other evidence was and how it would have changed the outcome.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Court: Form 2 is executed paragraph (c). There was evidence of the following circumstances but the jury unanimously agreed that they were not mitigating circumstances. There are none checked. But there is a signature line on the fourth- page by you Ms. Rideau. Is that the unanimous finding of the jury? Foreperson Rideau: Yes, sir.”
