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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The elements of the crime of Aggravated Assault and Battery, as charged in this case, are: 1. On or about the 4th day of July, 2001 2. In the County of Natrona, and State of Wyoming 3. The Defendant, Brian K. Farmer 4. Intentionally caused 5. Bodily injury to another person, Josh Goodhue 6. With a deadly weapon 7. And the Defendant, Brian K. Farmer, did not act in self-defense. If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that each of these elements has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, then you should find the Defendant guilty. If, on the other hand, you find from your consideration of all of the evidence that any of these elements has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, then you should find the Defendant not guilty.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Farmer v. State · Six v. State“The trial judge is afforded latitude to tailor the instructions to the facts of the case, and reversible error will not be found as long as the instructions when viewed as a whole and in the context of the entire trial fairly and adequately cover the issues.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Granzer v. State · Butz v. State“The test of whether a jury has been properly instructed on the necessary elements of a crime is whether the instructions leave no doubt as to the circumstances under which the crime can be found to have been committed.”
