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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Th[e willful blindness] instruction [delivered by the district judge] is consistent with the principle that “ ‘the term “willfully” ... requires more than a showing of careless disregard of the truth.’ ” United States v. Eilertson, 707 F.2d 108 , 110 (4th Cir.1983), quoting United States v. Pomponio, 429 U.S. 10 , 12, 97 S.Ct. 22 , 23, 50 L.Ed.2d 12 (1976). The instruction here read as a whole does not permit an inference of knowledge from a mere showing of careless disregard.”
