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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[Defense Counsel]: You described the man as a 200-pound man. You realize this gentleman sitting here next to you is, like 265 pounds? A: No, sir. Q: Did the gentleman that was in that car, was he substantially lighter than this gentleman sitting here? If this is the man that you’re alleging did this to you, if this is him, has he put on 65 pounds? A: I don’t know, sir. Q: You would agree with me that’s a substantial difference? A: Yes, sir. Q: Is 200 pounds a fair weight for what the man weighed? A: If I look at him now, I would say I thought he weighed 200 pounds. Q: You realize [the prosecutor] is closer to 200 pounds than I am and he’s probably substantially more than I am? A: No, sir. I don’t know that.”
