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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“And even though it's a very heavy burden however, the State does not, and I repeat, stress and emphasize, the State does not have to convince you to an absolute certainty of the Defendant's guilt. You do not have to be one hundred percent satisfied the Defendant's guilty in order to find him guilty.... So the State does not have to convince you to 100 percent certainty of the Defendant's guilt but merely beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“In addition, as in Jones , there were no proper balancing instructions. In both cases, the instructions were given to the venire, and the standard instructions were not given until the jury was being instructed before retiring. Without these balancing instructions, the error was fundamental.”
