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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“On the motion for a new trial, evidence was introduced tending to show that one of the jurors could not read and write, which fact was unknown to counsel when the juror qualified on his voir dire. A complete answer to this assignment of error is that, while under section 2684 of the Code ability to read and write constitutes one of the qualifications of a juror, the section further provides that "the lack of such qualification on the part of one or more jurors shall not vitiate an indictment or verdict." We deem it unnecessary to notice the other assignments of error, most of which are frivolous, and all of which are untenable. ( 103 Miss. at 234 , 60 So. at 210 )”
