Most-quoted passages

“[i]t is also well established that instructions to the jury should not single out or contain comments on specific evidence.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“there is nothing in the other instructions which cures this.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Court instructs the Jury that each person present at the time of, consenting to and encouraging, aiding or assisting in any manner in the commission of a crime, and knowingly, wilfully and feloniously doing any act which is an element of the crime or immediately connected with it, or leading to its commission, is as much a principal as if he had with his own hands committed the whole offense. If you believe from the evidence in this case beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant, Travone D. Robinson, consented to or encouraged, aided or assisted, in any manner in the commission of the crimes for which he is charged, then it is your sworn duty to find the Defendant, Travone D. Robinson guilty of robbery as charged in Count II of the indictment.”
