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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When recklessness establishes an element of the offense, if the actor, due to self-induced intoxication, is unaware of a risk of which he would have been aware had he been sober, such unawareness is immaterial.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“3."Recklessly." A. A person acts recklessly with respect to a result of his conduct when he consciously disregards a risk that his conduct will cause such a result. B. A person acts recklessly with respect to attendant circumstances when he consciously disregards a risk that such circumstances exist. C. For purposes of this subsection, the disregard of the risk, when viewed in light of the nature and purpose of the person's conduct; and the .circumstances known to him, must involve a gross deviation from the standard of conduct that a reasonable and prudent person would observe in the same situation.”
