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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Mr. Mosby has a lengthy criminal record. He has been convicted twice for auto theft. He has been convicted of drug crimes. He has been convicted of crimes involving guns. He has repeatedly committed crimes while on probation or parole. Indeed as [the prosecutor] pointed out, he committed this very crime, being a felon in possession of a firearm, while he was on probation from his last conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm.”
