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 154 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Chischilly , the Government prosecuted the defendant for felony murder. As a matter of discretion, the district court instructed the jury on second-degree murder, but it refused to instruct on involuntary manslaughter. The Chis-chilly court stated that “neither involuntary manslaughter nor second degree murder is a lesser included offense of felony murder.” One element of felony murder under § 1111 is “the commission of an enumerated felony with the requisite mens rea for the underlying” felony. Second-degree murder includes an element that felony murder does not include: “proof that the defendant acted with malice aforethought.””
