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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In a criminal prosecution, the trial court has the duty to correctly instruct on the salient features of the law raised by the evidence without a request by the defendant.... Whether requested or not, the trial judge should instruct the jury on the essential elements of the offense. ... Misinstruction on an essential element is fundamental error because it involves a substantial violation of the appellant's constitutional and statutory rights.”
