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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that . . . the defendant willfully or wantonly and intentionally discharged a firearm into a Pontiac automobile while it was occupied and the defendant knew it was occupied and that the discharge of the firearm into the Pontiac automobile was not accidental, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find, or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty, or if you fail to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the discharge of the firearm into the automobile was not accidental, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.”
