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 74 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * That these remarks on the part of the State’s attorney were exceedingly improper and calculated to unfairly prejudice the jury against the defendant, is scarcely a matter for argument, and the court should have warned the jury to disregard them. But as the remarks were upon motion stricken out, and as the [defendant] at the time asked for no other action on the part of the court, we do not regard its failure to so warn the jury as reversible error.””

By Mr. Leach [prosecutor] : No, sir, because I have tried this very [defendant] and heard him swear that he did not.””
