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

  1. “"On April 4, 1983, at approximately 7:30 p.m., the appellant entered the Winn-Dixie Store in Troy and asked the assistant manager, Tony Alcuri, about a bad check from his grandmother. When Alcuri told the appellant he did not have any knowledge about a bad check, the appellant left the store. Around 8:55 p.m., the appellant returned to this Winn-Dixie Store and approached Alcuri. The appellant stated, `See that black guy over there at the register . . . well, he has got a gun and do as he says and not start no shit.' . . . The appellant stood around *Page 891 for a minute and then left the store. The man that the appellant said had a gun stood in line at one of the cash registers and purchased a pack of gum. He looked around for a while and then walked out the door."”
