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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The indictment recites that the crime is a capital felony and also refers to the statute creating the offense. Thus, the indictment is sufficient. Further, when a person is charged with a capital felony, he [or she] is put on notice that the capital felony sentencing procedures will be utilized if a conviction is obtained, including the specific aggravating circumstances allowed.”
