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.
“W. David Boehm, director of the county’s computer technology department, explained that with only one quarter of the names and addresses to choose from, the computer automatically selected a correct proportion of jurors from each of the county’s zip codes. Then, when the computer noticed the need for hundreds more jurors, it started selecting again from the top of the list — the lowest numbered zip codes that happen to serve the county’s outlying areas. Filling out the needed number, the computer usually stopped at zip code 49505 and never again reached zip codes that cover the county’s most dense population areas The result: more jurors than required were summoned from places such as Rockford and Cannon Township while fewer jurors than expected were summoned from inner-city Grand Rapids. Walker, Kentwood and parts of Wyoming also were underrepresented. “We clearly screwed up in that data entry but didn’t know it,” Boehm said.”
