Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. The cold-blooded nature of the offense. 2. Abuse of the trust of a family relationship. 3. Presence of the victim's son in the house. 4. Defendant's sanity and absence of "abused spouse syndrome."”
