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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In our initial review ... we held that the potentially mitigating evidence offered ... did not warrant a Penry -type instruction... We do not believe that Johnson changes that holding. The record shows... [Lucas] was 43 years old when he committed the instant offense. The petitioner in Johnson ... was 19 when he committed his offense. We believe, therefore, that youth is not a factor in the instant case.”
