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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“specific instances of the victim’s prior [violent] conduct are considered to be admissible under Evidence Rule 405(b) to show (1) who was the aggressor, in which case the defendant’s knowledge of the [prior] incident[s] is • immaterial, and (2) that [the] defendant acted reasonably in using the degree of force he did, in which ease [the] defendant must know of the 'victim’s past acts of violence.”
