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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Involuntary manslaughter, a misdemeanor, is committed when a person, while engaged in a lawful act, unintentionally causes the death of another person or where a person engaged in a lawful act unlawfully causes the death of another person. To prove the commission of involuntary manslaughter, a misdemeanor, a lesser included offense of that charged in the indictment, the State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt the following: That the defendant, Tyrone R. Crouch, Jr., in Fayette County, West Virginia, on or about April 17, 2009, while engaged in an unlawful act unintentionally and with a reckless disregard for the safety of others caused the death of Lloyd L. England.”
