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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]he trial court instructed the jury that the State had the burden of proving all the material allegations of the complaint, including intent, beyond a reasonable doubt. Because the partial responsibility theory is merely one method of rebutting the State's allegation of intent, the theory is adequately covered by general instructions on the State's burden of proof. Consequently, the failure to instruct on partial responsibility could not have been prejudicial. As a general rule, trial courts need not give instructions that highlight particular evidence or testimony."”
