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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““If several persons in pursuance of a common design to commit an unlawful act ... set out together . . . and each takes the part agreed upon or assigned to him, some to commit the act, others to watch at proper distances and stations to prevent interference or surprise or to encourage this commission of the unlawful act or to favor, if necessary, the escape of those immediately engaged in the commission of the unlawful act, under these circumstances, if the unlawful act is committed, the act of one is the act of all and all are presumed to be present and guilty.””
