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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In the present case, the two hitting incidents left Diana with a black eye each time. However, Diana’s testimony only vaguely connects the two hitting incidents as both having been precipitated by arguments over Omar’s ex-wife and daughters. We do not know who initiated the arguments, whether the hit-tings were provoked in any manner, or what other factors may have contributed to either or both incidents, or any other relevant details that may show a relationship, connection or predictable “pattern” of physical abuse.”
