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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““While this intent to kill must be found as a fact, before you can find the Defendant guilty of attempted first-degree murder, it must be found, if at all, from his or their respective acts, his or their respective words or remarks, if any, so bearing upon his or their respective intent. Where there are no facts or circumstances to prove or rebut this presumption, the law presumes that a reasonable person intends all of the natural, probable, and usual consequences of his deliberate acts. If one person or more assaults another with a dangerous weapon or dangerous weapons likely to kill, and there are no facts or circumstances to prevent or rebut the presumption, the legal and natural presumption is that death was intended.” Answer to petition, filed March 3, 1981, Exh. H, p. 6.”
