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.
“Appellant has presented us with no persuasive authority that SDCL 19-12-4 (Rule 404(a) of the Federal Rules of Evidence) is not in accord with the majority rule that evidence of specific acts may not be used circumstantially to prove a victim’s probable conduct on the occasion of the alleged crime, (citation omitted), nor to corroborate a defendant’s theory that he was acting out of a reasonable fear for his own safety and in the reasonable exercise of deadly force in resisting the victim’s attack.”
