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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Error in a charge on an issue is harmless if the jury answers the issue in favor of the appellant. Lookabill v. Regan, 247 N.C. 199, 202 , 100 S.E. 2d 521 ; Scenic Stages v. Lowther, 233 N.C. 555, 557 , 64 S.E. 2d 846 . We do not indulge the presumption that the jury applied the questioned instructions to issues other than those directed by the court.””
