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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The force and effect of such a statement, assuming it was made, is diminished by the fact that Barfield was left alone, her departure unimpeded by physical restraints or the presence of other officers. When viewed in that light, Gray's alleged statement to Barfield that she remain in the office seems more in the nature of a precatory request than a command. See United States v. Brunson , 549 F.2d 348 , 357 nn. 12 13 (5th Cir. 1977).”
