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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The trial court in applying Article 42 properly charged the jury that if they found from the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant did with malice aforethought assault the deceased with a pistol and through mistake or accident did kill the deceased, that they so indicate by finding the defendant guilty of murder with malice. Or, if the jury found from the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant did without malice assault the deceased with a pistol and through accident or mistake kill the deceased then the jury should so indicate by their verdict by finding defendant guilty of murder without malice. “Assault with a prohibited weapon, here a pistol, is a felony under Article 1151, V.A.P.C. The facts in this case are undisputed as to the commission of the offense of assault with a pistol while carrying it unlawfully . . . .” “Article 42 has consistently been interpreted to mean that the defendant is guilty of the offense that was committed by the mistake during the preparation or execution of another felony.
