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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“■ The twofold approach of Jones was distilled from the provisions of Article 40.03, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, reading in pertinent part: New trials, in cases of felony, shall be granted the defendant for the following causes, and for no other: (7) Where the jury, after having retired to deliberate upon a case, has received other evidence .... (8) Where, from the misconduct of the jury, the court is of the opinion that the defendant has not received a fair and impartial trial.”
