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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““There was no evidence, fact or circumstance in evidence, which authorized an instruction for any other degree of homicide than that of murder in the first degree. The killing was done with malice and deliberation, and was clearly murder in. the first degree. The instructions which were given covered every feature of the case, and there was therefore no error committed in refusing other instructions asked by defendant.””
