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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“". . . The trial court in the instant case did use the words `actual and substantial doubt' and `moral certainty'; however, it did not use the phrase `grave uncertainty.' This case is clearly distinguishable from Cage . We find that taken as a whole the reasonable doubt instruction correctly conveyed the concept of reasonable doubt to the jury. The trial court's instruction on the presumption of innocence, burden of proof, and weighing of evidence support our finding. We conclude that there is no reasonable likelihood that the jury applied the instructions *Page 1071 in such a manner as to violate the appellant's constitutional rights."”
