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.

“Reasonable doubt is just beyond a reasonable doubt. Well, what’s reasonable? Reasonable is what the twelve of you determine is reasonable and you can apply your common sense to that and again I ask you to do so. Apply common sense to the facts in this case and determine what’s reasonable or not. It is the state’s theory of what happened based on the facts that are reasonable.”
