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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““No citation of authority or recitation of principles of judicial decorum is necessary to brand this conduct of the trial court as improper and tending to prejudice defendant’s rights. When the court belatedly attempted to remedy his judicial faux pas by telling the jury that he did not ‘want to be deemed as having made any statement as to the truth or falsity’ of the testimony of the witness in question, it is obvious that the wrong done could not be cured.””
