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.

“"Since it is impossible to determine what a jury would have done under a proper instruction, we are unable to affirm ... appellant's sentence." Novey v. State, 709 P.2d 696, 700 (Okl.Cr. 1985). Thus, the failure of the trial court to properly instruct the jury regarding punishment pursuant to Section 801 requires this Court to modify the punishment imposed upon the appellant to the minimum allowed under Section 801.”
