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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The question then is whether the jury was properly instructed. No error is assigned to the instructions given, but Walker assigned error to the failure to give his proposed instruction No. 3. If an individual is an agent for purchaser, then he cannot be an agent or an aider and abettor for the seller or a person who barters, gives away, exchanges or otherwise distributes drugs. We find no error in the failure to give the proposed instruction. The jury was fully instructed on the law under the instructions given. They provided Walker full opportunity to argue sensibly his theories of the case. Samuelson v. Freeman, 75 Wn.2d 894 , 454 P.2d 406 (1969); State v. Elder, 70 Wn.2d 414 , 423 P.2d 533 (1967). We therefore need not reach the question of whether his proposed instruction was a proper statement of the law.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Instruction No. 11 You are instructed that mere physical presence and assent to the commission of the crime is not enough to constitute one an aider or abettor of the principal committing the crime. Instruction No. 12 A person who purchases, or aids and abets a purchaser, is not by that fact alone guilty of a sale of dangerous drugs or aiding and abetting a sale of dangerous drugs. Instruction No. 13 For Jan Gilbert Walker to be an aider and abettor, you must find beyond a reasonable doubt that he had an intent to aid the defendant Jefferson in engaging in the sale in question, if you find such a sale did take place.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“. Whether the evidence is sufficient to submit the issue to the jury is a question of law for the court, and no element of discretion is involved. Where there is any evidence, however slight, and the evidence is conflicting or is such that reasonable minds may draw different conclusions therefrom, the question is for the jury.”
