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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Heat of passion” is distinguished from premeditation and defined as an intent “formed suddenly, under the influence of some violent emotion, which for the instant overwhelmed the reason of the slayer.” State v. Edmunds, 20 S.D. 135 , 104 N.W. 1115, 1116 (1905). Thus appellant’s guilty plea must be supported by facts in the arraignment record showing that he committed the crime with the above-described state of mind. There must also be an on-the-record factual basis supporting the charge that the homicide was committed in a cruel and unusual manner, i.e., a “shocking or barbaric” manner, “sufficiently unique in ferocity, duration and manner of accomplishment.” State v. Lange, 82 S.D. 666 , 152 N.W.2d 635, 639 (1967); State v. Stumes, 90 S.D. 382 , 241 N.W.2d 587 (1976).”
