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.
“The Court instructs the jury that when a defendant makes an overt act and a reasonable person would believe that a deadly weapon is present, there is no requirement that a victim must actually see the deadly weapon. Therefore, if you believe from the evidence in this case that the Defendant, ARTEA CHILTON, intended for TINA GIBBS to believe that he was exhibiting a deadly weapon; to wit: a gun; and if you believe from the evidence in this case that Tina Gibbs did believe that ... Chilton[ ], was exhibiting ... a gun then you may conclude that ... a gun[ ] was exhibited.”
