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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“but it is people like you who sit in the jury box that set these sentences.... That burden of prosecuting is off of my shoulders. The burden is one on you now, but I would like you to understand that you are now in the position of “they,” those people who have something to do with the criminal justice system in this country. And we would like for you to be able to leave the courtroom today when you have set your sentence, knowing that “they” have done something about it. Haynes at 714 .”
