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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Without the inadmissible expert opinions to establish that Parvin intentionally had shot his wife, he argues that he is entitled to an acquittal under Weathersby v. State, 165 Miss. 207, 209 , 147 So. 481, 482 (1933). In 1933, the Mississippi Supreme Court declared: [W]here the defendant or the defendant’s witnesses are the only eyewitnesses to the homicide, their version, if reasonable, must be accepted as true, unless substantially contradicted in material particulars by a credible witness or witnesses for the state, or by the physical facts or by the facts of common knowledge.”
