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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An error must be `injurious or prejudicial' to warrant reversal, and it is the burden of the party appealing to establish the injurious or prejudicial nature of the error. Spilman v. State, Wyo., 633 P.2d 183 (1981). We have said with respect to Rule 49(a), W.R.Cr.P., which is the source of Rule 7.04, W.R.A.P., that: "`* * * For an error to be regarded as harmful, there must be a reasonable possibility that in the absence of the error, the verdict might have been more favorable to the defendant.' Hoskins v. State, Wyo., 552 P.2d 342, 351 , reh. denied 553 P.2d 1390 (1976), cert. denied 430 U.S. 956 , 97 S.Ct. 1602 , 51 L.Ed.2d 806 (1977)."”
