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 67 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is true that the law presumes malice from the deliberate use of a deadly weapon; it is not true that this presumption should control in determining- the verdict in cases in which all presumptions are swallowed up by a full disclosure of all the facts surrounding- and attending the lulling. Instructions of this character are not erroneous, for the presumption does exist as stated, but it exists as a part of the whole case and not as a dominating- factor controlling all the facts disclosed, as it is the tendency of such instructions to suggest.””
