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.
““After the evidence. was closed, but before, the case was submitted to the jury, defendant moved the court that the jury be taken to the room where the homicide is alleged to have been committed, to make a personal inspection of it, which was denied, and this also is one of the grounds assigned in the motion for new trial. In the absence of statutory enactment providing for such a course there is no authority in the trial of a criminal case for a view of the premises where the crime is alleged to have been committed (12 Am. & Eng. Ency. Law, 368), and even when the view is authorized by statute it > rests altogether in the sound discretion of the court.””
