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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is within the province of the trial court whether or not the evidence, viewed most favorably to the defendant, is adequate to support an instruction on self-defense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“While the defendant may have the burden of going forward with evidence of self-defense, the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt never shifts from the State, and this standard broadly includes the requirement that the State prove that the defendant did not act in self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[The instruction] imposes upon the defendant the duty of satisfying the jury that the defense was necessary. The jury need not be satisfied. If the evidence raises a reasonable doubt, it will be sufficient.”
