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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Touching the point that defendant was in possession of the barn as lessee of the farm at the time of the burning, we do not see what that fact had to do with its criminal character. Arson in the third degree is a statutory offense; defendant’s act was an offense against property, not mainly or particularly one against another’s possession or occupancy of the property; and his criminal responsibility for his act was not diminished by any rights attaching to his leasehold.” (p. 344.)”
