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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We need not decide whether Fast Horse’s counsel was ineffective for failing to have Ms. Basham testify. When ‘it is easier to dispose of an ineffectiveness claim on the ground of lack of sufficient prejudice, [that] course should be followed.’ Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 697 , 104 S.Ct. 2052, 2069 , 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). A defendant is prejudiced if ‘there is a reasonable probability [that is, a probability sufficient to under mine confidence in the outcome] that, but for counsel’s unprofessional errors, the result of the [trial] would have been different.’ ””
