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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If there [i]s sufficient evidence from which the jury could find that there was an actual "burning" of the [victim's] house, and if there is no credible evidence from which the jury could find an attempt to burn which failed, [the] defendant would not be entitled to an instruction on the lesser included offense of attempt to commit arson.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“`mere possibility that the jury might believe part but not all of the testimony of the prosecuting witness is not sufficient to require the Court to submit to the jury the issue of defendant's guilt or innocence of a lesser offense than that which the prosecuting witness testified was committed.'”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“`[t]he trial court is not required to charge the jury upon the question of the defendant's guilt of lesser degrees of the crime charged in the indictment when there is no evidence to sustain a verdict of [the] defendant's guilt of such lesser degrees.'”
