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 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Following a criminal conviction, the defendant is no longer presumed innocent, and we view the evidence in the light most favorable to sustain the verdict.”

   3 later decisions quote this exact passage
   e.g. RAMIREZ v. the STATE. · LANHAM v. the STATE.

2. “To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance, [Hutto] must show that counsel’s performance was deficient and that the deficient performance so prejudiced him that there is a reasonable likelihood that, but for counsel’s errors, the outcome of the trial would have been different. We need not address both the deficient performance and prejudice prongs of the test if [Hutto] has made an insufficient showing on either prong. 18”

3. “Because [Fouts] neither requested [the criminal negligence] charge nor objected when the trial court failed to give it, we review the failure to give the charge only for plain error. To prove that the failure to give the charge was plain error, [Fouts] must show that a four-pronged test has been met: the omission of the charge was erroneous [;] the error was obvious [;] the omission of the charge likely affected the outcome of the proceedings [;] and the error seriously affected the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings.”
