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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“allow for a deduction of the value that would be derived in a legitimate transaction not induced by a bribe.... Because the sale item had a value that any purchaser in a legitimate transaction would receive, that value was not received as a result of the bribe and should not be considered in determining the degree of the bribe giver's culpability.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“net benefit... has nothing to do with expense incurred by the wrongdoer in obtaining the net value received”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The value of “the benefit received or to be received” means the net value of such benefit. Examples: (1) A government employee, in return for a $500 bribe, reduces the price of a piece of surplus property offered for sale by the government from $10,000 to $2,000; the value of the benefit received is $8,000. (2) A $150,000 contract on which $20,000 profit was made was awarded in return for a bribe; the value of the benefit received is $20,000. Do not deduct the value of the bribe itself in computing the value of the benefit received or to be received. In the above examples, therefore, the value of the benefit received would be the same regardless of the value of the bribe.”
