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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Evidence of the nature of that offered by the state, as a general rule, is not admissible, for it is evidence of an act not charged in the bill of indictment. If its admission in this instance does not constitute reversible error, it is only because defendant opened the door for its admission, as rebuttal evidence, by going beyond the bill of indictment, of his own motion, and testifying that he had never used, handled, or dealt in any manner with intoxicants, and therefore by his own act is in no position to complain”—citing Cyc., Vol. 40, page 2496.”
