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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"To convict the defendant of the crime of Assault in the Second Degree as charged in Count I each of the following elements of the crime must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt: "(1) That on or about the 16th day of October, 1977, the defendant: " (a) Knowingly assaulted Kaluna Farrington [sic] with a weapon or thing likely to produce bodily harm; or ”(b) Knowingly inflicted grievous bodily harm upon Kaluna Farrington [sic] with or without a weapon; or "(c) With criminal negligence caused physical injury to Kaluna Farrington [sic] by means of a weapon or other instrument or thing likely to produce bodily harm. ” (2) That the acts occurred in Kitsap County, Washington. " (3) That the evidence does not establish legal self-defense. "If you find from the evidence that elements (2), (3) and either (l)(a), (l)(b) or (l)(c) have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt, bearing in mind that (l)(a), (l)(b) and (l)(c) are alternatives and only one need be proven, then it will be your duty to return a verdict of guilty as to Count I. "On the other hand, if, after weighing all of the evidence, you have a reasonable doubt as to any one of these elements, then it will be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty as to Count I."”
