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 91 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“`[u]ntil the statute has run it is a mere regulation of the remedy * * * subject to legislative control. Afterwards it is a defense, not of grace, but of right, not contingent, but absolute and vested, * * * not to be taken away by legislative enactment. '”
8 later decisions quote this exact passage“Whenever any criminal or penal statute shall be amended or repealed, all offenses committed or penalties or forfeitures incurred while it was in force shall be punished or enforced as if it were in force, notwithstanding such amendment or repeal, unless a contrary intention is expressly declared in the amendatory or repealing act.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. McNeal · State v. Pillatos““ [Lengthening the limitation period before the prosecution is barred does not aggravate the crime, increase the punishment, or allow the offender to be convicted under legal rules permitting different testimony. Courts uniformly hold that extending the statute of limitation before a prosecution is barred is not ex post facto.””
