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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The failure of the Information to set out by appropriate allegations the truth about the possession of a concealed weapon by appellant on February 15, 1941, presents a very serious question. See Fudge v. State, 57 Fla. 7 , 49 So. 128 , 17 Ann. Cas. 919; State ex rel. Reed v. Blitch, 97 Fla. 260 , 120 So. 355 ; Hall v. State, 136 Fla. 644 , 187 So. 392 . It is probable that the trial court would have sustained a motion to quash thereby correcting the error appearing in the information, had it been directed to his attention prior to the trial of the case. The Criminal Code (c. 19554, Acts of 1939) requires that motions to quash shall be heard before the filing of a plea to the information.” See also Craton v. Sinclair, as Sheriff, 152 Fla. 292 , 11 So. (2nd) 475 .”
