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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well settled that when the weapon used in effecting an unlawful killing is a deadly weapon, per se, the intent to kill is presumed, as a matter of law. Hence, in such cases, no charge is required as to the intent to kill — and this, even though the accused testifies to a lack of intent to kill. Art. 45, P.C.; Miller v. State [ 112 Tex.Cr.R. 125 , 13 S.W.2d 865 (Tex.Cr.App.1929)]; Barr v. State, 146 Tex.Cr.R. 178 , 172 S.W.2d 322 , and authorities there cited.””
