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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been suggested that in criminal cases the state may not appeal, that a verdict for the defendant is final, and, since his counsel has the closing argument, he may travel out of the record and appeal to passion and prejudice at will, and that to compel counsel for the state to observe the rule is to handicap the state to the decided advantage of the defendant. The answer to this is that trial judges have ample power to keep counsel on both sides within bounds. The court may and should interfere without waiting for an objection. We think there is no reason to apprehend that trial judges will not control counsel who wilfully violate rules regulating the scope of legitimate argument.” (Italics supplied.)”
