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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the State presented evidence — in addition to the bare fact that the victim was strangled to death — tending to show premeditation. This evidence consisted of (1) the repositioning of the cord around the victim’s neck multiple times and (2) the ample physical evidence indicating that the victim’s strangulation occurred during or immediately after an intense struggle between the killer and the victim. We conclude that this evidence was sufficient for the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim’s murder was premeditated.”
