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.

  1. “Now in relation to the aggravated manslaughter charges and the death by auto or vehicular homicide charges, evidence alleging that the defendant suffered from a mental disease or defect has been produced. In considering the State’s burden of proof which is to prove each element of the charged offenses beyond a reasonable doubt, you must consider and weigh all of the evidence of defendant’s mental state, including ... evidence of mental disease or defect in determining whether or not the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that [defendant] acted recklessly which is an element of aggravated manslaughter and which is an element of death by auto or vehicular homicide.”
