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.
“But I want to read you one more jury instruction. And I want you to listen to this instruction and go back upstairs and see what you can do, and then we’ll see what happens. “You should make every reasonable effort to reach a verdict as it is desirable that there be a verdict in every case. Each of you should respect the opinions of your fellow jurors as you would have them respect yours and, in a spirit of tolerance and understanding, endeavor to bring the deliberations of the whole jury to an agreement upon a verdict. Do not be afraid to change your opinion if the discussion persuades you that you should. But a juror should not agree to a verdict that violates the instructions of the Court.” And with that one additional instruction, I’d just like to ask you to go upstairs and see if you are able to reach a ver- diet. And I’ll expect to hear something from you. And I see the smiles. Thank you.”
