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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) If you find from the evidence in this case beyond a reasonable doubt that: ... Ricky Levert Franklin ... did wil-fully and unlawfully, cause or attempted to cause bodily injury; to Jessica Renee Nolan ... with a deadly weapon. Then you shall find the defendant ... guilty of aggravated assault as charged.... (2) It is a question of fact for you to determine whether the bottle claimed to have been used by the defendant ... was a deadly weapon in the manner in which it was claimed to have been used to strike the victim in this case. (3) A deadly weapon is defined as any object, article or means which, when used as a weapon under the existing circumstances is reasonably capable of producing or likely to produce death or serious bodily harm upon whom the object, article or means is used.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Our law is well-settled that jury instructions are not given unless there is an evidentiary basis in the record for such. This Court has also held that instructions must be warranted by the evidence and should not be indiscriminately granted. To warrant the lesser-included offense instruction, a defendant must point to some evidence in the record from which a jury could reasonably find him not guilty of the crime with which he was charged and at the same time find him guilty of a lesser-included offense.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“the unsupported word of the victim of a sex crime is sufficient to support a guilty verdict where that testimony is not discredited or contradicted by other credible evidence, especially if the conduct of the victim is consistent with the conduct of one who has been victimized by a sex crime.”
