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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court charges the jury for the state that the mere fact, if it be a fact, that the defendant was a smaller man the deceased, and of less powerful build and proportions, and was being assaulted by the deceased and his son with their hands and fists at the time of the fatal difficulty, and was being beaten without excuse or provocation, does not and cannot in law excuse or justify the defendant in taking the life of the deceased. ’ ’”
