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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Defendant] started out that he was with his wife and child or wife and children or something that morning. We know he could talk, but he decided just to sit quietly. He didn’t want to say anything that would ‘incriminate himself.’ So he appreciated the criminality of his conduct all right. He was mighty careful with who [sic] he would discuss that criminality, wasn’t he? He wouldn’t discuss it with the people at [Dorothea] Dix [Hospital],”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[t]he State's cross-examination of defendant, examination of the officer and closing argument attacked defendant's exercise of his right against self-incrimination in such a manner as to leave a strong inference with the jury that part of defendant's testimony was an after-the-fact creation.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Ladies and gentleman of the jury, what would be wrong when you’re represented by a lawyer [with] calling up the police or having the lawyer call them up and say “let me tell you some more, let me tell you the rest of this?” He didn’t do that. He didn’t call the DA’s office. He didn’t call any police officer. He didn’t call the investigating officer. He didn’t do any of that. Right on that stand he said “I have told this story for the first time today other than [to] my lawyers.” Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, ask yourself now “why on earth would I wait until now to try to tell that story if I had that kind of story? Why would I do that?””
