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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We do not view either of these statements, introduced by the State, as being exculpatory so as to require the charge requested. See McClelland v. State, Tex. Cr.App., 389 S.W.2d 678 . As in Gibson v. State, 53 Tex.Cr.R. 349 , 110 S.W. 41, 48 , there is no admission or statement admitting the killings but seeking to justify and excuse the same. The same statements were offered by the State `as tending to show the account given by appellant was untrue, known to him to be untrue, and therefore incriminating evidence against him, in that they show an effort and scheme to shield himself from the force and effect of his presence at the scene of the homicide and other facts tending to connect him with the murder.' See also Asner v. State, 138 Tex.Cr.R. 420 , 136 S.W.2d 822, 826 ; Grady v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 466 S.W.2d 770 .”
