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 69 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To establish a city's liability based on its failure to prevent misconduct by employees, the plaintiff must show that city officials had knowledge of prior incidents of police misconduct and deliberately failed to take remedial action.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“If a party feels that a jury verdict is inconsistent, it must object to the asserted inconsistency and move for resubmission of the inconsistent verdict before the jury is discharged or the party's right to seek a new trial is waived.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]he reports of violent behavior are relevant to show that Chief Bruce had knowledge of Luckie’s propensity toward violence. For instance, if Luckie had locked Parrish in the back of his patrol car and beat her up instead of sexual assaulting her, the City could not have raised this claim. The City’s argument attempts to pigeonhole Luckie’s various assaults as distinct and unrelated crimes. According to this argument, if a man whips his child with an extension cord, then dons his police uniform and beats up a prisoner, then locks a female prisoner in his squad car and forces her to perform oral sex on him, the acts are unrelated. It is clear, however, all of these acts constitute crimes of violence.”
