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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] person acts recklessly as to causing the death of another person when there is a substantial and unjustifiable risk he will cause death and he consciously disregards that risk, and such disregard is a gross deviation from what a reasonable person would do in the circumstances.’ ” Id. (quoting MAI-CR 3d 313.10). Appellant concedes that he shot the decedent and that the decedent died as a result of the gunshot wound. At trial, Appellant testified that he fired his pistol in the direction of the decedent without looking and that he was not concerned with whether he shot him or not.”
