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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Here, Richard's subjective knowledge may be inferred from not only the circumstances, but also from certain admissions made by Richard to the police. Richard and Karrie had been advised to seek medical treatment for the benefit of both Karrie and of the baby prior to Lela's birth. They were informed that a strep infection was discovered in the amniotic fluid, prompting the doctor to again recommend immediate hospitalization. Upon Lela's birth her weight was under five pounds. After consulting with the physician, Richard was specifically informed of two conditions which if present required immediate medical attention. Richard admitted that both conditions existed; yet, Richard persisted in his refusal to seek medical treatment for Lela. The circumstances, especially when coupled with Richard's admission that he knew Lela was in danger, amply support a finding that Richard knowingly or intentionally placed Lela in a situation that could endanger her life."”
