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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Preston gave the only evidence of the assault, testifying that the [petitioner] struck him with a gun, and the evidence showed that the same gun was found three weeks later in an apartment occupied by the [petitioner]. By finding the [petitioner] not guilty of criminal possession of a firearm and carrying a pistol without a permit, the jury demonstrated that it did not believe Preston's testimony that he was struck with a gun. Although Preston testified that the [petitioner] also struck him with the stick that was wrapped with tape and cable wire, it is inconceivable that the jury believed Preston's testimony. The [petitioner] further asserts that [t]he only conclusion which can be drawn from the verdicts is that the jury convicted [the petitioner] based on his prior conviction of manslaughter.... Prior conviction of manslaughter is not sufficient to convict an individual of assault in the second degree.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“On September 21, 1995, Hashim Preston was in his sister's apartment in Bridgeport. Shortly after midnight, Maria Caban knocked on the door of the apartment and was let in by Preston. While the door was open, the [petitioner] forced his way into the apartment and engaged Preston in a hostile conversation about certain money matters. At some point, 2 the [petitioner] pulled out a long black stick that had tape and a cable wire around it, and struck Preston in the face with it five to seven times.”
