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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he critical inquiry is whether the temporal and spatial separation between the acts supports a factual finding that the defendant formed a separate intent to commit each criminal act.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Mills v. State · Parker v. State“although the temporal and spatial separation between the first and second shot was small, that separation was sufficient to support a finding that [petitioner] had formed a separate intent to harm Scott between the two gun shots. Scott turned his back to [petitioner] after the first shot, as evidenced by both pictures ... of the crime taking place and by the fact that Scott was shot in the buttocks. The evidence of record is sufficient for a rational trier of fact to conclude that the intent [petitioner] had formed to shoot Scott in the leg was distinct from the intent he formed thereafter to shoot Scott in the buttocks after Scott turned his back to run away from his assailant.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“into a series of temporal or spatial units.”
