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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““The State, of course, had the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant ‘purposely’ committed the crime with which he is charged. [Citations.] This does not mean, however, that the defendant may not be required to bear the burden of proof on the issue of insanity, for although ‘evidence relevant to insanity ... may also be relevant to whether the required mens rea was present, the existence or nonexistence of legal insanity bears no necessary relationship to the existence or nonexistence of the required mental elements of the crime.’ [Citations.] Indeed, insanity and criminal intent are distinct aspects of a criminal trial between which the jury is capable of distinguishing.
