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.

“in § 14-244(b) does not encompass intentional conduct and, therefore, the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction. The defendant claims that there was insufficient evidence demonstrating that the collision was caused by unintentional conduct because under his version of the events the victim acted intentionally by leaping in front of the vehicle, [4] and under the state's version of the events he acted intentionally in striking the victim. The jury was not required, however, to accept either the state's version of the events or the defendant's version of events in its entirety.”
