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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(2) A person is guilty of aggravated assault if he (a) attempts to cause serious bodily injury to another, or causes such injury purposely, knowingly or recklessly under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life; or (b) attempts to cause or purposely or knowingly causes bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon or other means likely to produce death or serious bodily harm; and, upon conviction, he shall be punished by imprisonment... in the penitentiary for not more than twenty (20) years. Provided, however, a person convicted of aggravated assault (a) upon a ... law enforcement officer ... while such ... law enforcement officer ... is acting within the scope of his duty, office or employment... shall be punished ... by imprisonment for not more than thirty (30) years.”
