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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“That motion to strike for cause will be denied. The court does not find that his views would prevent or substantially impair the performance of his duties as a juror in accordance with the instructions and his oath, and I think he has indicated an ability to do that. I think what he has indicated more than anything is he is death penalty prone, but that doesn't mean that he is disqualified as a juror just because he has a predisposition that way, but I think when confronted in more detail relative to his position, he indicated the ability to be able to evaluate the evidence and consider all the penalties that the Court would instruct upon.”
