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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally prevents or obstructs a person he knows is a peace officer or a person acting in a peace officer’s presence and at his direction from effecting an arrest, search, or transportation of the actor or another by using force against the peace officer or another. (b) It is no defense to prosecution under this section that the arrest or search was unlawful.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The arrest was complete [before the use of “force against a peace officer”], and thus later violent actions by appellant could not have been in resistance to the arrest. Interpreting the testimony in the light most favorable to the verdict ... [t]he State could have chosen to charge appellant with [aggravated assault on a peace officer], or some other offense provable on the facts of record in this case, but instead decided to charge him for and attempt to prove the offense of resisting arrest in his act of “pulling away” from officer Smith. We find that in attempting to do so, the State presented evidence ... insufficient to support the conviction.”
