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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““With respect to the time sequence of the killing, I further charge you that it is not enough that the killing occurred either before or soon or presently after the rape was consummated. There must be such a legal relationship between the two that it can be said that the killing occurred by reason and as a part of the rape, to wit, that the perpetration of the rape had a legal relationship to the killing and was concurrent with it in part, at least, and a part of it in an actual and material sense. Tersely put, death must have been the probable consequence of the unlawful act.””
