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.
“Before jury arguments, the court shall give to each counsel a copy of its instructions in their final form, noting this fact of record and granting reasonable time for counsel to make objections, which shall be made and ruled on before arguments to- the jury. Within such time, all objections to giving or failing to give any instruction must be made in writing or dictated into the record, out of the jury’s presence, specifying the matter objected to and on what grounds. No other grounds or objections shall be asserted thereafter, or considered on appeal.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“defendant advised the court what he wanted and why; the court ruled upon the matter before arguments to the jury; and it was all on the record. We conclude these instructions as to which the record was made were “final” instructions for purposes of determining sufficiency of defendant’s record on failure to give his requested instruction, and that the record so made was an “objection” sufficient to preserve the matter for appeal.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[t]he purpose of requiring compliance with rule 196 procedure is to “fully (alert) the trial court to the point of law and question of fact on which he relies in urging the requested instruction be given.””
