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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The word ‘intoxication,’ as used in these instructions and as applicable to this offense, means not having the normal use of one’s mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol into his body. The word intoxication also means having an alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more. The phrase ‘alcohol concentration,’ as used in these instructions means the number of grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood.”

State“Questions concerning the accuracy or procedure used in administering a scientific test go to the weight given to the test’s result, not to its admissibility. In addition, an instruction such as the one the appellant requested would have been an improper comment on the weight of the evidence.”
