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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. Defendant solicited another to commit an offense; and 2. During the solicitation, defendant commanded, encouraged, hired or-requested another person to engage in specific conduct which would constitute the commission of the offense solicited or an attempt to commit the offense solicited.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“"[t]he conversation between the defendant and Tretola in the present case is, at the very least, susceptible of being understood by reasonable fact-finders as meaning that the defendant requested or encouraged, if not actually hired, Tretola to murder the ex-Mrs. Waskin. The fact that the time of performance was not agreed upon or even that it was postponed for several months, or that payment of money was not immediately made, does not mean that no request or encouragement occurred, or even that no agreement hiring had taken place.... Indeed it appears that the defendant's request to postpone the hit was not occasioned by any disagreement about the figure of $10,000, but rather was motivated by the defendant's professed need to have sufficient time to amass the cash for payment without calling attention to his plan by borrowing. Where, as here, the defendant clearly requested that Tretola do away with his ex-wife, neither the lack of agreement about the price, or lack of payment, makes any difference." State v. Waskin, 481 So.2d at 498 (emphasis in original).”
