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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[D]espite their suspect pedigree, jury pardons have become a recognized part of the system; so much so that, in direct appeals, “[t]he failure to instruct on the next immediate lesser included offense (one step removed) constitutes error that is per se reversible.” Reddick [v. State], 394 So.2d [417,] 418 [(Fla.1981)]. Such a standard is appropriate on direct review because “it would be difficult for an appellate court to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that a jury in a particular case, given the opportunity, would not disobey the law and grant a pardon.” Sanders [v. State], 847 So.2d [504,] 507 [(Fla. 1st DCA 2003)] (quoting Hill [v. State], 788 So.2d [315,] 319 [(Fla. 1st DCA 2001)]).”
