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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘Murder may be committed without an actual intent to take life. “But to constitute the offense of an assault with intent to murder there must be a specific intent to kill.” Hence it is error to instruct the jury that the same facts and circumstances which would make the offense murder, if death had ensued, will furnish sufficient evidence of intention to convict of assault with intent to murder.’ ””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““It is sometimes stated that the assault must be ‘committed under circumstances such that, if death ensued, the crime would have been murder in either the first or second degree.’ Davis v. State, 204 Md. 44, 50 , 102 A.2d 816 . That statement, true enough for most cases, is, however, too broad.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““It would appear equally clear that an assault with intent to murder conviction could not be predicated upon the other two varieties of ‘implied malice’—felony-murder or the ‘wanton and wilful disregard of unreasonable human risk.’ ””
