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 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““... The denial of a defendant’s requested instruction is not error where the requested instruction is merely an affirmative submission of a defensive issue which merely denies the existence of an essential element of the State’s case”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Moon v. State · Thomas v. State““. . . You are further instructed that a stall or a booth in a public viewing room is private to the extent that it is offered to the public for private, however transcient, individual’s use, and the occupants thereof are entitled to the modicum of privacy that its design affords. Therefore, if you should find that an act of sexual contact was made by the defendant with L. D. Reid on the 12th day of April, 1976, in the Ellwest Arcade, 308 South Ervay, Dallas, Texas, as alleged, but that such act occurred in a movie stall wherein the defendant could reasonably expect privacy, and such act was not in plain view, you will acquit the defendant and say by your verdict not guilty.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Gant v. State · Resnick v. State““Now if you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or about the 25th day of December, 1980, in Potter County, Texas, that the defendant, Victor Gutierrez, acting as a party, did then and there intentionally or knowingly cause the death of an individual, Berry McGuire, hereafter styled the complainant, a peace officer in the lawful discharge of an official duty, knowing at the time that the complainant was a peace officer, by shooting the complainant with a firearm, then you will find the defendant, Victor Guterrez, guilty of Capital Murder.””
