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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Specifically, that Mr.. Young laid in wait and planned, waiting on Mr, Morgan, for him to arrive at this house for him to be confronted. He armed himself with a weapon. He knew there was going to be trouble. He testified that they had not had any argument, no dispute that day or any day prior to that. It was all based on something that happened three or four years earlier. So for [the trial court] to give, basically, [the imperfect-self-defense jury instruction] would be to totally disregard all of those facts.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Young’s own testimony was that Morgan had pulled a gun on him first; Morgan’s pulling a weapon on him was the only reason Young offered for killing Morgan. Taken as true, this showed that Young faced imminent danger and that his apprehension was objectively reasonable. This evidence did justify Young’s proffered self-defense jury instruction, which was properly granted. However, this evidence provides no evidentiary basis for the bona fide but unfounded belief required for an imperfect-self-defense instruction.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“If you find beyond a reasonable doubt that Kenneth Brian Weaver killed Sara Lynn Beard aka Sara Lynn Mullett without malice while under a bona fide, but unfounded, belief that the killing was necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm, then you shall find Kenneth Brian Weaver guilty of [m]anslaughter.”
