The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“[T]his case illustrates that when criminal procedure directs the jury to concern itself with both the truth of the charges and the consequences of its verdict, its findings as to guilt and its findings relating to matters that legally require a consequence deemed by the jury undesirable, may naturally be inconsistent. Such inconsistency is the price of a `jury pardon' philosophy.”
