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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An instruction is not confusing if a full and fair reading of all the instructions leads to the inevitable conclusion that the jury could not have misapprehended the issue presented by the challenged instruction. Thus, we consider the instructions as a whole and if the jury has not been misled there is no reversible error.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Marquis v. Nuss“It is the trial court’s duty to instruct with reasonable fullness on the pleaded issues which have evidentiary support. A mere abstract definition of the law having no application to the facts is insufficient. The giving of instructions which are conflicting and confusing is reversible error.”
