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 76 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The remaining exceptions are to the effect that the court in the charge used phrases such as ‘presumption of innocence/ ‘burden of proof/ ‘quantum’ and ‘reasonable doubt/ but did not define or explain them to the jury. The record shows no request that these terms be defined and in S. v. Browder, 252 N.C. 35 , 112 S.E. 2d 728 , the court held that it did not constitute error to fail to define ‘reasonable doubt’ in the absence of a request. A similar holding as to ‘presumption of innocence’ appears in S. v. Perry, 226 N.C. 530 , 39 S.E. 2d 460 and the same reasoning will apply to the other terms and phrases.” State v. Hall, 267 N.C. 90 , 147 S.E. 2d 548 .”
