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

  1. “"While the defendant may have the burden of going forward with evidence of self-defense, the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt never shifts from the State, and this standard broadly includes the requirement that the State prove that the defendant did not act in self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt."”

  2. “[t]he State must prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and when the defendant presents a prima facie case of - 16 - self-defense, the State's burden includes 'proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense.'”
    2 later decisions quote this exact passage
  3. “[e]vidence that leaves room for two or more inferences of fact, at least one of which is consistent with the defendant's hypothesis of innocence, is not legally sufficient to make a case for the jury.”
