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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In determining the defendant’s intent, you are hereby instructed that the law presumes that a reasonable person intends all of the natural, probable and usual consequences of his deliberate acts, unless you find from the evidence in this case that there are facts or circumstances that prevent or rebut this presumption.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[T]he state may not first implicitly warn the defendant that silence will not be used against him and then accost him at trial once he remains silent.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“A reference to a suspect’s decision to retain counsel also draws into question rights secured by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. If the prosecutor had argued to the jury something along the line of: “The defendant went right out and got a lawyer, so you can be sure he knew he was guilty”, Dean would have a strong argument. (We need not decide if it would be powerful enough.)”
