15 state decisions

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

1. “The failure of the county attorney to endorse the name of a witness on the information was not error where the failure was inadvertent and the county attorney timely informed the court-appointed counsel for the defendant of the omission and of the intention to move the court for an order permitting the endorsement of the witness on the information. To defendant’s specification 5, that the court misdirected the jury in a number of instances, we find no merit. The defendant alleges that instruction 16 which contains part of section 93- 2001-1, R.C.M.1947, was incomplete, in that it covered only subdivisions 1, 2, 4 and 6, and, that the court in leaving out sub-divisions 5 and 7 completely failed to properly instruct the jury on the pertinent provisions of such section which would have been favorable to the defendant.”
