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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Williams , the Western District reviewed the cases involving the “merger doctrine,” the felony-murder rule, and statutory history. 24 S.W.3d at 109-17 . The Western District concluded that the legislature intended “no other limitations be placed on the offense of felony murder, which would include limitation by way of the merger doctrine.” Id. at 117 (noting the legislature excluded murder and manslaughter as predicate felonies for felony murder and in specifically doing so, meant for those exclusions to be the only limitations on the felony-murder offense). If the legislature had intended to include the merger doctrine as a limitation on the felony-murder rule, it could have easily done so. Id.”
