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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As to this possible verdict, I instruct you that if you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or about December 25, 1980, Walter D. Boykin, Jr. intentionally or someone with whom Walter D. Boy king [sic], Jr. was acting in concert shot James Ray Lamb with a .22 caliber firearm and thereby proximately caused the death of James Ray Lamb, but the State has failed to satisfy you beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in the heat of passion upon adequate provocation, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty of voluntary manslaughter.”
