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 difference between accidental homicide and negligent homicide is whether the act resulting in death was intentionally or unintentionally done. The focus is on the accused’s act, not on the result of his act. Accidental homicide is the result of an unintentional act while negligent homicide may only result from an intentional act.” See also Esparza v. State, 520 S.W.2d 891 (Tex.Cr.App.1975); McKenzie v. State, 521 S.W.2d 637 (Tex.Cr.App.1975); Palafox v. State, 484 S.W.2d 739 (Tex.Cr.App.1972).”
