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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Court is reasonably convinced from the evidence that at the time of Susan Martin's murder Daniel Perez was under the influence of extreme mental or emotional disturbance. However, the mental or emotional disturbance Perez suffered from is one of the most dangerous types. The most significant and disturbing components of Perez's bipolar disorder is the antisocial and borderline personality features. The indifference to hurting others and the willingness to violate the rights of others to get what one wants are a deadly combination.... ... There was no evidence presented in this case that Daniel Perez is not able to conform his conduct to the requirements of the law. Thus, while the Court finds that the mitigating circumstance of Daniel Perez participating in a murder while he was under extreme mental or emotional disturbance has been adequately proven, the Court gives little weight to this mitigating circumstance because there is no showing that Perez is unable to conform his behavior to the requirements of law and because the antisocial personality and borderline personality features of Perez's bipolar disorder make him dangerous.”
