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.
““. . . Where the defendant desires definition of a term, he should request the same. Fooshee v. State, 3 Okl.Cr. 666 , 108 P. 554 , holds the failure of the court to define a legal term used in its instruction, where the defendant makes no request for definition of a term, is no ground for reversal. Roberts v. State, 29 Okl.Cr. 64 , 232 P. 450 . Logan v. State, 42 Okl.Cr. 1 , 274 P. 39, 41 , holds: “ ‘ “If the defendant wanted the term defined, he should have requested the court to define . . . [the same].” ’ ””
