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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is entirely possible under the jurisprudence of this state for a person to be properly charged with and convicted of the killing of another, or of inflicting great bodily harm upon him, and the injured person or his heirs, in case of his death, be without recourse civilly against the person so charged and convicted. This happens when the deceased or injured person provokes, instigates or creates conditions by words or actions, of such character as to make him the aggressor in the difficulty out of which the action is alleged to have arisen.”
