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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendant claims this instruction permits a finding of specific intent based solely on presumption, shifting the burden of proof to the defendant regardless of circumstances. The italicized portion correctly limits the application of the presumption, but one who stabs another in the neck with a knife must be held to understand that death is a natural and probable consequence of such act. This particular instruction has been used before and held to be proper. . . .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““. . . The defendant cannot complain of the failure to instruct on an included offense unless he has asked for that instruction.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Evidence which merely impeaches the credibility of a witness does not warrant a new trial on this ground alone.”
