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.
“"Thus, even acting in self-defense, a person may be liable for injury inflicted upon the aggressor. This is the case when the defendant is not justified in his belief that he was in danger, or when the defendant uses excessive force, or when the defender continues to exert force after the aggressor is rendered disarmed or helpless."”
