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 37 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Jury are instructed that a man is presumed to intend that which he does, or which is the immediate or necessary consequences of his act; and if the jury believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant, George F. Slider, Jr., with a deadly weapon upon his possession took money from James Petroski, a person having lawful charge of the same, by putting him in fear of bodily harm, then you shall find defendant guilty as charged in the indictment.””
