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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““* * * and the court having heard all of the evidence and being advised in said premises, finds that said Buddy Lynn Whittington is a minor under the age of eighteen, fourteen years of age, and is a delinquent child as set forth in the complaint, and that said Buddy Lynn Whittington has committed an act which would be a felony if committed by an adult. “It is therefore ordered by the court, pursuant to Section 2151.26 of the Eevised Code of the state of Ohio, that William Eutherford, the juvenile probation officer, make a full investigation herein and report the same to this court. It further ordered that said Buddy Lynn Whittington, a delinquent child, be committed to the Juvenile Diagnostic Center of the Ohio Youth Commission for a complete mental and physical examination, the results of which are to be forwarded to this court. And this cause is continued pending investigation and the findings of the mental and physical examination.””

3. ““10. District of Columbia Juvenile Court Act per mitting waiver of Juvenile Court’s jurisdiction over child did not authorize court, in total disregard of motion for hearing filed by counsel and without any hearing or statement for reasons, to decide that a 16-year-old minor should be taken from the receiving home for children and transferred to jail along with housebreaking, robbery and rape, be exposed to the possibility of a death sentence instead of treatment for a maximum, in the particular case, of five years, until he was 21.” “15. The District of Columbia Juvenile Court’s waiver of jurisdiction over 16-year-old defendant charged with housebreaking, robbery and rape was a critically important action determining vitally important statutory rights of juvenile.””
