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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[N]o juror could have reasonably found that [the defendant] did not intend to take the life of [the victim]. Specifically, the evidence clearly established that [the defendant], after wrestling with [the victim's friend] and shooting and seriously injuring her, chased [the victim] from the living room of [her friend's] house into a bedroom and, despite her pleas for mercy, proceeded to shoot her not once, but twice in the head at close range.”
