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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To find a defendant guilty of first-degree murder a jury must find that the Commonwealth has proven that he... unlawfully killed a human being and did so in an intentional, deliberate and premeditated manner. It is the element of a willful, premeditated and deliberate intent to kill that distinguishes first-degree murder from all other criminal homicide. ' Specific intent to kill may be inferred from the defendant’s use of a deadly weapon upon a vital [part] of the victim’s body.”
