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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Count I [of the indictment] charges the defendant with Interference with Official Proceedings^] [A]n element of [this] offense is that the defendant used force on AH. The use of force upon another person that would otherwise constitute an offense is justified under the following circumstance: when and to the extent reasonably necessary and appropriate to promote the welfare of a ehild[,] a parent, who is the lawful custodian of that child, may use reasonable and appropriate nondeadly force upon that child. It is for you to determine whether a decision by the defendant to remove AH. from the jurisdiction was not in fact made to promote the welfare of AH. or was not reasonably necessary and appropriate to promote the child’s welfare.... [U]nless the state has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in these circumstances, you should find the defendant not guilty. 8”
