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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “The careful trial court placed the burden of proof upon the State to show beyond a reasonable doubt not only that appellant was sane at the time of the alleged offense, but also at the time of the trial, on account of the fact that he had been found insane in the Tarrant County Court on September 25, 1940. We think such instruction was a correct proposition of law. See Gunter v. State, 139 Tex.Cr.R. 145 , 139 S.W.2d 116 [(1940)]; Herring v. State, 141 Tex. Cr.R. 281, 148 SW.2d 416 [(1941)].”
