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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Justice (sic) Campbell, writing for the court, acknowledges that despite the holding in Garrett , the cases of Boozer, Ortega , and Benson require that the sufficiency of the evidence must be measured against the `entire charge.' On rehearing, Justice (sic) Campbell expresses concern as to Garrett 's effect on subsequent cases. He then cautions that Garrett is the product of an `unusual set of circumstances' and limited in its scope. Consequently, we conclude that the holding in Garrett , by its own terms appears to be limited to cases involving transferred intent where the issue concerns insufficiency of the evidence.”
