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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“You are instructed that there is a presumption in law that the fire in this case was caused by accident or natural causes, rather than by a deliberate act of the Defendant. Proof of the single fact that a residence has been burned is not enough to prove the crime of Arson since it must also be proven that it was burned by the willful act of some person criminally responsible and not as a result of natural or accidental causes.”
