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.
“[T]he jury should have been instructed that, if it believed Newell’s version of the events surrounding his altercation with [the victim], then it should presume that Newell used defensive force against [the victim] because he “reasonably feared imminent death or great bodily harm, or the commission of a felony upon him or against the vehicle which he was occupying.””
