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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The second proposition contends that the trial court erred in refusing to give defendant’s instructions relating to this theory of the case on simple assault and battery and self-defense. We are of the opinion that the trial court properly declined the defendant’s requested instructions. The defendant’s theory of defense was not that of self-defense but rather that he did not stab the victim. . . ””
