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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he jury in the instant case was not directed to choose the greater offense simply because the lesser-included offense would have improperly required a more depraved level of intent.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]o prove the crime of manslaughter,] the state must prove the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt: One, Buddy Eugene Pickett is dead. Two, Jonathan David Williams intentionally caused the death of Buddy Eugene Pickett. However, the defendant cannot be guilty of manslaughter if the killing was either justifiable or excusable homicide as I have previously explained those terms. In order to convict of manslaughter by intentional act[,] it is not necessary for the state to prove that the defendant had a premeditated intent to cause death, only an intent to commit an act which caused death.”
