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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(2) It is erroneous in that the court failed to charge the jury with respect to the use of such force as was necessary or apparently necessary to protect the defendant from death or great bodily harm. The plea of self-defense rests upon necessity, real or apparent.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Now, members of the jury, ... if you are satisfied from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that he (the defendant) assaulted this man, Alvis Wayne Fewell; that he did so with a deadly weapon; that he did so with his pistol; and inflicted serious injury, then it would be your duty to find him guilty of that charge, unless you are satisfied by the evidence that he had a right to defend himself and that he used no more force than necessary in defending himself.” (Emphasis added.)”
