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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is clear, therefore, that in order to secure a conviction in a criminal' prosecution it is necessary to show not only that the act denounced as a crime has been committed, but that it has been committed within the territory where the law invoked for its punishment prevails, and that from a legal point of ■ view the one factor is as much an ingrdient of the offense, and bears as directly upon the question of the guilt or innocence of the accused, as the other. Where, however, an act, otherwise falling within the definition of a crime, is committed within the boundaries of a state whose state-wide law penalizes it, it is equally a crime whether committed in one part of the state or another; and, though the law may provide for its prosecution in the particular county or parish where committed, the question, whether it was committed in the one county or parish or the other, is one which concerns merely the place and tribunal in which the prosecution is to be conducted, and in no manner affects the question of the guilt or innocence of the accused.””
