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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(3) There was a second count in the indictment which charged the defendants with making an assault upon the body of Archie Sharp with force and arms and with intent to commit murder in the first degree. This is the count upon which the State should have relied for a conviction. The jury, however, convicted the defendants upon the first count, their verdict being that the defendants ‘are guilty as charged in the indictment for conspiracy,’ the effect of this verdict being to acquit the defendants of the crime set forth in the second count.””
