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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Such motion raises a question of law for the trial judge respecting the legal sufficiency of the evidence to sustain a verdict against the defendant. If the appellate court finds, on review of an order directing a verdict, that the trial court erred as a matter of law in granting the motion, the judgment of the trial court will be reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial.” ⅜ # >(< ⅜ sft ⅜”
