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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[e]very procedure which would offer a possible temptation to the average man as a judge to forget the burden of proof required to convict the defendant, or which might lead him not to hold the balance nice, clear and true between the State and the accused, denies the latter due process of law. Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510, 524 , 47 S.Ct. 437 , 71 L.Ed. 749 [(1927)].” Point 2, syllabus, Williams v. Brannen, 116 W.Va. 1 [, 178 S.E. 67 (1935) ].””
