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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This Court has long held that a conviction for murder may be affirmed where alternative theories are charged when the evidence supports either malice aforethought or felony murder. In James v. State, 637 P.2d 862, 865-66 (Okl.Cr.1981), we held that when the alternative charges were based on the factual basis of the crime, rather than the actual nature of the offense, a jury was not required to indicate which of the alternatives upon which the conviction was based. See also Newsted v. State, 720 P.2d 734, 737 (Okl.Cr.1986); Plunkett v. State, 719 P.2d 834, 841 (OH.Cr.1986); Phillips v. State, 641 P.2d 556, 559 (Okl.Cr.1982). See also Schad v. Arizona, 501 U.S. 624 , 111 S.Ct. 2491 , 115 L.Ed.2d 555 (1991).”
