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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Jury instructions must be read and considered as a whole in determining whether a charge contained error. Absent a remedial instruction, reversible error can occur if a jury charge recites the entire statutory definition of a crime, thereby informing the jury that a crime may be committed in more than one manner, when the indictment avers that the crime was committed only in one specific way. [But i]n this instance, the trial court did not err in charging the entire language of [the statute] pertaining to the offense of cruelty to children, as the jury was also given an instruction which confined the elements of the crimes charged to those material allegations in the indictment.”
