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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To prove the crime of possession of a concealed weapon by a convicted felon, the State must prove the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt: Number one, the defendant had been convicted of a felony, and number two, after the conviction, the defendant knowingly carried a pellet gun which was concealed from the ordinary sight of another person. Convicted means that a judgment has been entered in a criminal proceeding by a competent Court, pronouncing the accused guilty. A concealed weapon is legally defined as any dirk, metallic knuckles, slung shot, billy tear gas gun, chemical weapon or device, or other deadly weapon, carried on or about a person in such a manner as to conceal the weapon from the ordinary sight of another person. And a weapon is a deadly weapon if it is used or threatened to be used in a way likely to produce death or great bodily harm. As is customary, the jury was repeatedly reminded of its obligation to follow the law as set out in the court's instructions, and following brief deliberations, it returned a verdict finding Moore guilty as charged.”
