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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Events or circumstances which might not be' of concern where a jury is under the control and scrutiny of the court itself during trial, might be factors of greater weight when their effect on a jury at large in the community is considered. The mere passage of time between empanelling and service may itself operate to magnify the effect of otherwise minor incidents. Moreover, it is conceivable that a case could arise where the separation was so long, the'control of the court over the jury so dissipated by the elapsed time, that this Court might be bound to find prejudice from that fact alone.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. White · State v. Brooks“[I]n criminal cases, trial by jury is a constitutionally protected right. Vt. Const. Ch. I, Art. 10. Due process is involved, and the law is sensitive to any infringement or impairment. . . . Each case involving this issue [separation of juries] must be, and will be, decided on its own facts.”
