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

This the Commonwealth did not do. Mere identity of name is not sufficient to indicate an identity of person.” (Citation omitted.)”
