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 80 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If the defendant killed his wife in a manner that would be criminal and unlawful if the defendant were sane, the verdict should be ‘not guilty by reason of insanity,’ if the killing was the off-spring or product of mental disease in the defendant.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““If the defendant had an insane impulse to kill his wife, which he could not control, then mental disease produced the act. If he could have controlled it, then his will must have assented to the act, and it was not caused by the disease, but by the concurrence of his will, and was therefore crime.””
