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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[i]t shall be unlawful for any person employed by or associated with any enterprise engaged in ... interstate or foreign commerce, to conduct or participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of such enterprise's affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity or collection of unlawful debt.”
    3 later decisions quote this exact passage
    e.g. 532 So. 2d 1112 - State v. Smith · 546 So. 2d 72 - Masonoff v. State
  2. “"[E]nterprise," as defined by Section 943.461(3), means "any" individual or sole proprietorship. The inclusion of "any" within the definition clearly suggests a legislative intent to direct the thrust of the RICO Act against an individual "associating with himself." Had the legislature not intended to reach individuals such as Bowen , it could easily have narrowed the sweep of Section 943.461(3), by supplanting "any" with "another." (Citations omitted).”
