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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. The defendant initiated or continued the incident resulting in injury; or 2. The defendant did not believe he was in imminent danger of death or injury and that the use of force was not necessary to save him; or 3. The defendant had no reasonable grounds for such belief; or 4. The force used was unreasonable.”
