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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he Court believes that the allegation unknown to the Grand Jury applies to those cases where it cannot be determined with reasonable certainty what object or instrument of debt existed or who the owner was ... That is not the case in this case. I think the evidence established with reasonable amount of certainty either it belonged to HPD (Houston Police Department) or Home Depot, and with more reasonable certainty the owner in this case was properly HPD Officer Macejewski. 1”
