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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To prove the crime of unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, the State needs to establish the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt: 1) The defendant has been convicted of a felony; and 2) After the conviction, the defendant owned or had in his care, custody, possession, or control, a firearm.”
