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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellant’s chief insistence is that he was enti tied to an instruction under section 1308, Kentucky Statutes. This precise question was before the court in the case of Hall v. Commonwealth, 219 Ky. 446 , 293 S. W. 961 , and we there held that the holding or flourishing, or use in threatening or boisterous manner, of a deadly weapon, which is made a misdemeanor by section 1308, is included in an indictment under section 1166, Kentucky Statutes, and the failure to instruct thereon, where the evidence authorizes it, is prejudicial error.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Since under the given instructions the jury could not have found appellant guilty of a misdemeanor unless he acted in sudden heat and passion, as to which there was no evidence, it results that the failure to instruct under section 1308 was prejudicial error.””
