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 67 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[e]ven though the homicide be unintentional, yet if it be committed in the course of perpetrating the felony, and is a natural and proximate result thereof, such as the defendant reasonably was bound to anticipate, * * * the homicide will be first degree murder under the statute.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Moore v. State · State v. Moore““Every murder which shall be committed by means of poison, or by lying in wait, or by any other kind of willful, deliberate and premeditated killing, and every homicide which shall be committed in the perpetration or attempt to perpetrate any arson, rape, robbery, burglary or mayhem, shall be deemed murder in the first degree.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Jackson · State v. Bouser“[T]he first degree murder statute embraced only killings which would have been murder at common law; that is was merely a statute of classification, not of definition; and, since at common law there could be no murder without an intent to kill, such intent was necessary under the constructive murder statute. [As a result, Shock ] held ... that if ... one person assail another, though without intending to kill him, and the latter person die, the assault and its result [were] all one offense[.] ... [T]he assault [was] simply a constituent element of the homicide, merging therein, and not a separate, independent felony.... [Thus, under the first degree murder statute as it then read,] the words “or other felony” appearing therein referred to some collateral felony, like arson, robbery, etc., and not to acts which themselves constituted the homicide.”
