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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The defendant's argument is better designed for jury consumption than an appellate court's. A failure on the part of the State to prove malice and premeditation are principally urged by defendant. Malice can be presumed from use of a firearm. Goodman v. State, Wyo.1977, 573 P.2d 400, 414 . The word "premeditated" when used in reference to first-degree murder, implies an interval, however brief, between the formation of the intent or design and the commission of the act. State v. Riggle, 1956, 76 Wyo. 1 , 298 P.2d 349 , reh. den. 76 Wyo. 63 , 300 P.2d 567 , cert.den. 352 U.S. 981 , 77 S.Ct. 384 , 1 L.Ed.2d 366 ; Loy v. State, 1919, 26 Wyo. 381 , 185 P. 796 .”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Murry v. State · Pena v. State““The court upon motion of the defendant made at least 15 days prior to the date set for trial, shall transfer the proceeding as to him to another county, whether or not such county is specified in the defendant’s motion, if the court is satisfied that there exists within the county where the prosecution is pending so great a prejudice against the defendant that he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial in that county.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““ * * * [I]n order for a change of venue to be granted, the burden is upon the defendant to show prejudice so great or general as to prevent his receiving a fair and impartial trial and the decision is within the sound discretion of the trial judge. [Citations.] * * *” Collins v. State, supra, 589 P.2d at 1289 .”
