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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“[W]here a statute does not specifically define words of common usage, such words are construed in their plain and ordinary sense.”
11 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. DuFresne v. State · Tmh v. Dmt
“Perhaps it would have been better legislative drafting if the legislature had not chosen the shorthand method of referring to section 232.03, Florida Statutes (1993), and had set out in section 877.18, Florida Statutes (1993), what evidence of proof of age was required. However, we believe the choice of drafting was within the legislative prerogative and that the reference to section 232.03, Florida Statutes (1993) does not render the statute ambiguous or vague.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage
e.g. 745 So. 2d 514 - St. Surin v. State
“In order to withstand a vagueness challenge, a statute must be specific enough to give persons of common intelligence and understanding adequate warning of the proscribed conduct.”
