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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Specific intent, as the term itself suggests, requires more than a mere general intent to engage in certain conduct. “A person who knowingly does an act which the law forbids, or knowingly fails to do an act which the law requires, intending with evil motive or had purpose either to disobey or to disregard the law may be found to act with specific intent.””
