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 State is not required to prove a defendant had a blood alcohol level of .10% or more in order to convict him of driving while intoxicated. Rather, the State need only prove a defendant was intoxicated. A blood alcohol level of .10% merely entitles the State to a presumption of intoxication, but it is not the only proof of intoxication.... [I]ntoxi-cation with its attendant behavioral manifestations is an observable condition about which a witness may testify.... [TJhere is sufficient evidence in the record to support a finding that defendant was intoxicated based on the physical traits observed by the police officer at the time of the stop. Thus, the trial court’s determination of defendant’s blood alcohol level, while clearly improper, was irrelevant.”
