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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the case sub judice, appellant's version of an accidental shooting was contradicted both by witnesses for the state and by physical evidence. Bobby Fuller, defendant's sixteen year old son, testified that immediately prior to hearing a shot fired, he heard the victim cry out, "No, no." Sheriff Houston Jordan and pathologist Dr. Vijaya Dhannavada testified that a fresh laceration was observed on the knuckle of the victim. Moreover, the firearms expert testified that repeated testing of appellant's rifle indicated that the gun was not capable of malfunctioning in any manner claimed by the appellant... . The Weathersby rule has no application to the facts of this case and the trial court's ruling on the motions was proper.”
