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.

1. “Maria Ramos was in Assistant District Attorney Klinkowitz’ office, and Detective Sandoval had the defendant in the outer office of the District Attorney’s Office. Detective Sandoval was standing approximately the length of this courtroom away from Assistant District Attorney Klinkowitz’ office. I stepped out in the hall to direct Detective Sandoval to bring the defendant into Mr. Klinkowitz’ office at which time Detective Sandoval was standing with his back to me, and the defendant was standing alongside with his back toward me. I brought Maria Ramos to the District Attorney’s Office and directed her attention to the front of the office. I asked her if she knew Detective Sandoval; she stated no. I asked her if she saw Detective Sandoval standing anywhere in the District Attorney’s Office; she stated no, but stated that the man in the white shirt is Boogie. That man was identified as the defendant standing alongside of Detective Sandoval.”

2. “... as to the question of identification, in this case the defendant has challenged the question of the identity of the person or persons who committed the crime. If you find that the crime of murder in the first degree was committed, before you may find the defendant guilty of that crime, you must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant, Jose Cruz Rodriguez, was the person who actually committed it.”
