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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial judge had previously found that the shooting was not heinous, atrocious or cruel at a time when the facts of the case were fresher in his mind; almost two years had passed between Eti-enne’s original sentencing and the re-sentencing hearing. The basis for the resentencing had nothing to do with the court’s original finding that Etienne’s crime was not heinous, atrocious or cruel; thus, that aspect of the trial judge’s order was not subject to reevaluation since it was not the subject of any challenge.”
