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.

““The prosecution is thus required to establish the corpus delicti through the production of sufficient direct or circumstantial evidence to establish that the crime charged was committed, regardless of who may have committed it. * * * We are of the opinion that only prima facie proof of corpus delicti must be established prior to the introduction of defendant’s admissions [or] confessions.” Id.
