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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Instructions Nos. 5, 7, 8, 10 and 14 requested by appellant and refused by the court were repetitious and embodied the same theory and principle of self-defense stated in the given instructions. The trial court is not required to instruct the jury over and over on a principle of law, even though some variations are used in the different instructions." 338 So.2d at 806 . See also, Ragan v. State, 318 So.2d 879 (Miss. 1975).”
