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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To constitute res gestae the circumstances and declarations must be necessary-incidents of the criminal act, or immediate concomitants of it, or form in conjunction with it one continuous transaction.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Kreller · State v. Walker““Res gestae are events speaking for themselves under the immediate pressure of the occurrence, through the instructive, impulsive and spontaneous words and acts of the participants, and not the words of the participants when narrating the events. What forms any part of the res gestae is always admissible in evidence.””
