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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If you find the offenses charged in the Trial Information were committed, and that the defendant fled from the scene of the crime, for the purpose of avoiding or retarding prosecution, then such flight is a circumstance you may consider in determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant. The credit and weight, if any, to be given such circumstance is for the jury to determine from a consideration of all the evidence in the case.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Wullner · State v. Bone“An instruction should state the applicable rule of law for the jury. It is not intended to marshal the evidence or to give undue prominence to certain evidence involved in the case. State v. Milliken, 204 N.W.2d 594, 596 (Iowa 1973). Trial court ordinarily should not draw attention to specific evidence when instructing the jury. “A trial court must walk a middle course and avoid arguing the case for either side in the instructions.” State v. Fagan, 190 N.W.2d 800, 802 (Iowa 1971).”
