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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The death wound admittedly being near the center of the back of deceased would of necessity tend to show that, at the time the fatal shot was fired, the defendant could not have been in imminent danger of suffering death or grievous bodily harm at the hands of deceased.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The evidence, without dispute, establishes that the defendant shot the deceased in the back while the latter was in the act of running from him. . . . There, therefore, existed no necessity, real or apparent, which justified his conduct.”
