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.
““Appellant objected to the court giving application to Art. 42, P.C., in its charge to the jury because there was no evidence to support it, and he further objected because the charge as given failed to require the jury to find that deceased’s death could have been reasonably foreseen from the act or acts of sodomy, and further than the means used in the commission of the act or acts of sodomy were not such as would ordinarily result in death. “The evidence supports and authorizes the application of Art. 42, P.C., in the charge to the jury. The charge set out said statute and in the language of the statute authorized a conviction thereunder. The charge is in accord with that set out in 1 Branch (2), 66 Sec. 70.5 and Cook v. State, 152 Tex.Cr.R. 51 , 211 S. W.2d 224 . No error is shown.””
