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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““An instruction on a lesser included offense is not required absent evidence to support it.... The trial court did not err in refusing to instruct the jury on stealing from a person since there was no evidence presented at trial which provided a basis for a verdict acquitting the defendant of the offense charged and convicting him of the included offense.””
