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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“we defer to the discretion of the trial judge, and we will not order a new trial unless convinced that the verdict is so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence that to allow it to stand would be to sanction an unconscionable injustice.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“A motion for directed verdict challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, and the critical inquiry is whether the evidence shows beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused committed the act charged, and that he did so under such circumstances that every element of the offense existed. In judging the sufficiency of the evidence, the trial judge is required to accept as true all evidence that is favorable to the State, including reasonable inferences that may be drawn therefrom, and to disregard evidence favorable to the defendant.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“¶ 16. The jury instruction states: The Court instructs the Jury that under law, the intent to kill one human being transfers to the actual victim and if you believe from the evidence in this case beyond a reasonable doubt that on the day in question, the Defendant, Walter Carpenter, had the deliberate design to kill Jewell Carpenter, but instead, accidentally killed Maurice Carpenter, the killing of Maurice Carpenter is nevertheless murder under the law, unless you believe the Defendant Walter Carpenter acted in necessary self-defense.”
