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 67 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a criminal trial in Arizona, the exclusive function of the jury is to determine whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. The trial court determines matters of punishment. ‘A defendant is entitled to a fair trial and to a verdict of a jury upon the evidence without consideration of the punishment inflicted.’ State v. Burnetts, 80 Ariz. 208, 212 , 295 P.2d 377, 379 (1956). See State v. Van Dyke, 127 Ariz. 335 , 621 P.2d 22 (1980). Consequently, a trial court’s jury instructions generally should not touch on the subject of punishment except to advise the jury not to consider it.” 2”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Tims · State v. Olsen“[T]he trial judge is always in the best position to determine whether a particular incident calls for a mistrial. The trial judge is able to sense the atmosphere of the trial, the manner in which the objectionable statement was made, and the possible effect it had on the jury and the trial.”
