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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Your verdict must be for [Plaintiff] if you believe: First, [Plaintiff] was a paying guest at Marriott’s hotel, and Second, Marriott either: (a) failed to protect her against unreasonable risk of physical harm by Clifford Yeargin, or (b) failed to rescue her from Clifford Yeargin’s attack after Marriott knew or had reason to know that she was being attacked, or (c) failed to adequately summons [sic] police to rescue her from Clifford Yeargin’s attack after Marriott knew or had reason to know that she was being attacked, or (d) failed to promptly apprehend Clifford Yeargin after the attack; and Third, in any one or more of the respects submitted in paragraph Second, Marriott was negligent, and Fourth, such negligence directly caused, or directly contributed to cause plaintiff damage.”
