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.

2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In order to convict the defendant of Assault with a Deadly Weapon With Intent to Kill Inflicting Serious Injury, the State is required to prove to the jury from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant unlawfully assaulted Steven Montgomery and that he did so in execution of an actual, specific intent to kill. Thus, before the jury may find the defendant guilty of Assault with a Deadly Weapon With Intent to Kill Inflicting Serious Injury, it must first find whether the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Nathaniel Williams was, first, capable of forming a specific intent to kill and, second, did form the specific intent to kill within the meaning of our law. The jury must consider, in determining the answer to these two questions, the evidence of the defendant with regard to his mental condition at the time of the alleged offense. In other words, the defendant’s evidence with regard to his mental condition is a circumstance which must be considered in determining whether or not the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Nathaniel Williams was (1) capable of forming the specific intent to kill and (2) did form the specific intent to kill Steven Montgomery.”
