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.
“Courts uniformly refuse to take any steps in a criminal proceeding unless the defendant is in custody, either actual or constructive. The whole theory of criminal proceeding rests upon the idea of the defendant being personally under the control of the court.... Courts will not waste their time in considering questions or in making matters of record which will prove effectual or ineffectual accordingly as they may be ratified by the consent of a party charged with crime.”
