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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The act directed toward the commission of the intended offense, after the preparations are made, need not be the last proximate act, such as making the mash, before the consummation of the offense, in order to constitute an overt act; but the act of the appellant toward the accomplishment of the proposed crime, if sufficiently near and proximate as to reasonably lead to consummation if uninterrupted, constitutes an overt act.” (At page 110)”
