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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While jury charges on self-defense and voluntary manslaughter are not mutually exclusive ([cit.]), the provocation necessary to support a charge of voluntary manslaughter is different from that which will support a claim of self-defense. [Cit.] “The distinguishing characteristic between the two claims is whether the accused was so influenced and excited that he reacted passionately rather than simply in an attempt to defend himself. Only where this is shown will a charge on voluntary manslaughter be warranted.” [Cit.]”
