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 88 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the trial judge evaluates or screens the evidence supporting a proposed defense, and upon such evaluation declines to charge on that defense, he dilutes the defendant’s jury trial by removing the issue from the jury’s consideration. In effect, the trial judge directs a verdict on that issue against the defendant. This is impermissible.”
17 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““ * * * We agree that the substance (though not necessarily the wording) of these charges should have been given. Defendant’s dissatisfaction here is not pettifoggery over nuances of words. His objections go to the refusal to submit substantive defenses.” ( 376 F.2d 416 , 418-419)”
