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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This Court recently held, reversing a number of our earlier cases, that a jury verdict may be sustained even though not all the theories on which it was submitted had sufficient evidentiary support. Walther purported to be applying the Supreme Court's decision in Griffin v. United States , which the Fifth Circuit believed overruled cases such as Neubauer v. City of McAllen, 766 F.2d 1567 , 1575 (5th Cir.1985). Although its reasoning may be questioned, Walther appears authoritative in our Court at this time.”
