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 52 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

“A prosecutor's statement must be viewed in the context of all of the evidence presented and in the context of the complete closing arguments to the jury.”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. Living v. State · Bryant v. State
“In judging a prosecutor's closing argument, the standard is whether the argument `so infected the trial with unfairness as to make the resulting conviction a denial of due process.'”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage
e.g. Living v. State · Bryant v. State
“"`Jurors do not sit in solitary isolation booths parsing instructions for subtle shades of meaning in the same way that lawyers might. Differences among them in interpretation of instructions may be thrashed out in the deliberative process, with common sense understanding of the instructions in the light of all that has taken place at the trial likely to prevail over technical hairsplitting.' Boyde v. California , 494 U.S. 370 , 380-81 , 110 S.Ct. 1190 , 108 L.Ed.2d 316 (1990)."”
