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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The third Wicks exception applies only when the "error is so flagrant and so highly prejudicial in character as to make it the duty of the court on its own motion to have instructed the jury correctly." Rackley v. State , 371 Ark. 438 , 440, 267 S.W.3d 578 , 580 (2007). Douglas cites no cases in which a jury instruction error has been considered by this court on direct appeal in the absence of an objection and proffer of the instruction in the trial court. We conclude that the circumstances presented here do not warrant application of the third Wicks exception.”
