I think the only reliable way to parse all the citations correctly, in
the absence of "magic word" is to have a list of names. It involves a bit
of manual work, but should be good enough if there are a small number of
cases that is cited a lot of times.
>>> names = '|'.join(['Carter', 'Jury Commision of Greene County', 'Lathe
Turner', 'Fouche'])
>>> rep = '|'.join(['.*?'])
>>> dd = {'names': names, 'publ': rep}
>>> re.search(r'((%(names)s) v. (%(names)s)(, [0-9]+ (%(publ)s) [0-9]+)*
\([0-9]+\))' % dd, text).group()
