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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We should not now deny a Sixth Amendment ineffective counsel claim because of a court induced ‘tactical’ decision to avoid helping the State satisfy its burden of proof. See May v. Collins [ 904 F.2d 228 ], at 282-34 [(CA 5 1990)] (Reavley, J., concurring).””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Ex Parte Garrett · Ex Parte Kunkle“would have been harmful to the defendant if offered at trial without instructing the jury that it could consider and give effect to mitigating evidence by declining to impose the death penalty [and] [a] request for such an instruction would have been futile at the time [of applicant's trial in 1986].”
