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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““On September 28 a boy who became sixteen years old on June 3 was arrested for statutory rape committed on May 27, all in the same year, and was brought before a justice of the peace. At a preliminary examination the boy’s age was disclosed, and the justice of the peace transferred the case to the juvenile court. The juvenile court referred the case to the district court for trial, a jury impaneled by the district court found the boy guilty, and the district court sentenced him on the verdict to the reformatory. Held, the district court had no jurisdiction to pronounce sentence on the verdict.””
