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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Therefore, if you believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Louise Cope was the owner of the property, to wit: money, and that the defendant, Kenneth Ray Grady, in Harris County, Texas, on or about September 12, 1977, while in the course of committing theft from the said Louise Cope, and with intent to obtain and maintain control of said property, intentionally or knowingly threatened or placed the said owner in fear of imminent bodily injury or death and used or exhibited a deadly weapon, to wit; a pistol, you will find the defendant guilty of aggravated robbery.””
