13 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Gibson · State v. Lingmann“[i]t is an affirmative defense ... that the defendant caused the death of another or attempted to cause the death of another ... under the influence of extreme emotional distress for which there is a reasonable explanation or excuse.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Spillers · Ross v. State“"[Nlotwithstanding the presumptions in favor of the jury's decision[,}] this Court still has the right to review the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. The fabric of evidence against the defendant must cover the gap between the presumption of innocence and the proof of guilt. In fulfillment of its duty to review the evidence and all inferences which may reasonably be drawn from it in the light most favorable to the verdict, the reviewing court will stretch the evidentiary fabric as far as it will go. But this does not mean that the court can take a speculative leap across a remaining gap in order to sustain a verdict."”
