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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Conflicts in the testimony of a witness and between the testimony of witnesses are common at trials. Petitioner disputes the word of certain of the witnesses. He gave his version at the trial. The conflicts were resolved by the jury. This court is not to be expected to retry the issues which were thus disposed of in the state court.” Collins v. Heinze, 125 F.Supp. 186, 188 (N.D.Cal.), aff’d, 217 F.2d 62 (9th Cir. 1954), cert. denied, 349 U.S. 940 , 75 S.Ct. 786 , 99 L.Ed. 1268 (1955).”
