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.
“At the time of the shooting, Douglas was reaching through the back door of a parked automobile to remove a child's car seat. Jackie Garcia, Douglas' girlfriend, was standing near the automobile with the couple's four year old daughter in her arms. An automobile drew up beside Douglas, and the [petitioner] fired a gun at Douglas through the passenger side window. Douglas fell to the ground, and the [petitioner] continued to fire gunshots at him until the automobile left the area. During the shooting, Garcia went inside with her child. After the [petitioner] left, she returned to the street with a cordless telephone. She dialed 911, reported to the operator that her boyfriend had been shot and named the [petitioner] as the shooter. When the police arrived, an officer spoke with Garcia, who told him that the [petitioner] had pulled up in a car and shot Douglas five or six times. A police detective spoke with Douglas, who also stated that the [petitioner] had shot him. Later, as Douglas was transported in an ambulance to a hospital, he told another police officer that the [petitioner] had shot him. In June, 2001, the [petitioner] was arrested and charged. Following the jury trial, at which he was convicted of two counts of assault, the [petitioner] was tried to the court on the part B information in which he was accused of being a persistent dangerous felony offender and was convicted on that charge as well. Thereafter, the court imposed a sentence of forty years imprisonment.”
