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 74 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Valle was convicted of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and possession of a firearm, and was sentenced to death for the murder charge. Valle v. State [ (Valle I) ], 394 So.2d 1004 (Fla.1981). On direct appeal, this Court reversed the convictions and sentences and remanded for a new trial. Id. On retrial in 1981, Valle was again convicted on those three counts and again sentenced to death. The convictions and sentences were affirmed by this Court in Valle v. State [(Valle II)], 474 So.2d 796, 806 (Fla.1985). The United States Supreme Court subsequently vacated Valle’s death sentence and remanded the case to this Court for further consideration in light of Skipper v. South Carolina, 476 U.S. 1 , 106 S.Ct. 1669 , 90 L.Ed.2d 1 (1986), regarding the admissibility of model prisoner testimony. Valle v. Florida, 476 U.S. 1102 , 106 S.Ct. 1943 , 90 L.Ed.2d 353 (1986). We remanded for a new sentencing hearing before a new jury. Valle v. State [ (Valle III)), 502 So.2d 1225 (Fla.1987).”
