The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“Defendant next contends that once the trial court found the state’s evidence insufficient to submit the case to the jury on capital murder, the court could not properly submit the case on second degree murder and manslaughter.. We disagree. Second degree murder is a lesser included offense of capital murder. The trial court was, obligated to submit to the jury the highest degree of the charge justified by the evidence. The point is without merit.”
