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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The court found that although the evidence showed that the skull fracture suffered by the victim could have been caused by his fall, the uncontradicted testimony presented by both testifying doctors was that the depression on the victim’s forehead was almost certainly the point of impact. Therefore, the fall could not explain the injury because the victim landed on the back of his skull and did not strike the front. When the medical facts are combined with the fact that petitioner was the only person alone with the victim during the period that the injury could have occurred, a strong in ference arises that petitioner caused the victim’s injury.”
