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

  1. “The State of Minnesota brought these charges against the defendant. Therefore, doesn’t it make sense that the State should have the burden, and that the defendant should not be required to prove his innocence? That malees sense. But keep in mind the State accepts this burden. It’s not an unrealistic burden, it’s not an impossible burden; rather, it’s truth beyond a reasonable doubt, not proof beyond all doubt or to a mathematical certainty. [[Image here]] But, now, when does the defendant no longer enjoy this presumption of innocence? It's when you ladies and gentlemen of the jury are satisfied that the State has proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt, not all doubt.”
