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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If you find from the evidence in this case, beyond a reasonable doubt, that on or about the 1st day of October, 1997, in Rankin County, Mississippi, the Defendant, Pamela Moore, did: 1. Willfully, unlawfully and intentionally, burn a [the] child, by immersing his buttocks in water, and thereby causing serious harm then you shall find her guilty of the crime of felony child abuse. The Court instructs the Jury that if the State has failed to prove all the elements of the crime of felony child abuse then you may consider the offense of contributing to the neglect of a child by leaving the child in the bathroom with hot water in the tub. There, should you find from the evidence in this case beyond a reasonable doubt, that on or about the 1st day of October 1997, in Rankin County, Mississippi, the Defendant, Pamela More, did: 2. Willfully omit the performance of any duty which this omission contributes or tends to contribute to the neglect of a child then you shall find the Defendant, Pamela Moore, guilty of the offense of contributing to the neglect of a child.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“If you find from the evidence in this case that Pamela Moore is not guilty of the crime of felony child abuse, then you may proceed with your deliberations to determine whether that State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt all of the elements of a lesser crime as defined in other instructions of the Court.”
