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

1 later decision quote this exact passage“Because we determine that there was sufficient evidence to support a conviction * of murder in the first degree ..., we hold that trial counsel's failure to move for a required finding of not guilty did not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel”
