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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[whhile "ordinary bruises" may not satisfy such a standard, appellant was aware not only of the bruises, but of the severity of the beatings which could be heard in different rooms of the house, and of the extreme nature of the conduct, which included beating the victim with a belt, a tube, a brush, a yardstick, and a board. She was also aware that her husband had used clamps on the victim's hands and fingers. This evidence is sufficient for a jury to have found beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant knew that D.J. was being abused.”
