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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In order for a homicide to be justified under Art. 1224, P.C., it must appear: “a. That the accused resorted to all other means to prevent the injury, save retreat, “b. That the person killed was in the very act of assaulting the accused at the time he was killed, and “c. That the accused used no more force than was necessary as it appeared to him, viewed from his standpoint, to repel the attack.””
