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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To convict the defendant, Robert Raymond Birdwell, of the crime of unlawful possession of dangerous drugs with intent to sell, as alleged in the information, the State must prove beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) That on or about the 9th day of May, 1970, the defendant did unlawfully and feloniously have in his possession a certain dangerous drug, to-wit: marijuana; (2) That the defendant possessed such dangerous drug with intent to sell; (3) That said act or acts occurred in King County, Washington. If you find from the evidence admitted in this case that the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt the foregoing elements of the crime charged, then it will be your duty to return a verdict of guilty of the crime of .unlawful possession of dangerous drugs with intent to sell. On the other hand, if after weighing all the evidence you entertain a reasonable doubt as to the establishment of any one of the foregoing elements, you should return a verdict of not guilty.”
