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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The circumstances as viewed from appellant’s standpoint at the time he shot the deceased were critical to his claim of self-defense. We cannot conclude that the fact he was able to present his version of the homicide through his testimony and that of his nephew at trial rendered harmless the court’s error in refusing to admit the exculpatory portion of appellant’s oral confession relating to self-defense made shortly after the shooting to Officer Parramore.””
