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.
“In Drotar , a defendant charged with second degree murder was convicted of aggravated battery. On appeal he contended that the trial court erred in giving, over his objection, jury instructions on aggravated battery. The appellate court, in affirming the aggravated battery conviction, said that Martin cannot be interpreted as restricting jury instructions in every ease where death ensues. Drotar distinguishes those cases where there is an issue for the trier of fact as to whether the death was caused by defendant’s act or some other cause. In such cases the defendant is entitled to non-homicide lesser included offense instructions.”
