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.
““A specific intent to kill is an essential element of the offense of assault with intent to murder, but the trier of facts may infer the intent to kill from any facts in evidence which prove the existence of such intent. Intent to kill may be inferred from the use of a deadly weapon. A pistol is a deadly weapon per se. Moreover, proof of infliction of injury is not necessary to conviction for assault with intent to murder.” (Citations deleted.)”
