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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Next the defendant claims that he was entitled to have the jury instructed on the lesser included offense of burning insured property, as set out in T.C.A. § 39-3-205. The short answer to this contention is that not all the elements of § 39-3-205 were included in the indictment, and under the rule in Howard v. State, 578 S.W.2d 83, 85 (Tenn.1979), the defendant could not be convicted of that offense. It was therefore proper to refuse to charge it. Moreover, the Tennessee courts have previously held that burning insured property is not a necessarily included offense of arson. Roberts v. State, 47 Tenn. 359, 363 (1870); Stanley v. State, 180 Tenn. 70 , 171 S.W.2d 406 (1943).””
