Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(1) With the intent to terrorize, or in reckless disregard of the risk of terrorizing, another person; or
