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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If ... it may be fairly inferred from the evidence that the defendant was intoxicated ... to such an extent that his judgment and actions were substantially affected thereby, or that his capacity to know or appreciate the nature, quality, or wrongfulness of his conduct was significantly impaired by reason of intoxication, this instruction ... must be given upon written request ... by the state.... Even though there is evidence of consumption of alcohol ..., if there is no evidence from which such impairment could be inferred, this instruction may not be given over the objection of the defendant.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Kehner · State v. Bristow““Appellant did not attempt to defend the charges against him by arguing that he was intoxicated. Rather, appellant attempted to defend the charges against him by claiming self-defense. Because appellant did not raise the issue of intoxication or impairment, submitting Instruction No. 10 [MAI-CR3d 310.50] was likely to have confused the jury or misled them to believe appellant admitted to some wrongdoing and was attempting to escape liability based on intoxication.””
