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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The next contention of appellant is that the attorney for appellant, who had also been his attorney in a former prosecution for violation of the liquor law, was called to the witness stand by the state and asked to identify appellant as the person who had been convicted in the previous prosecution. Counsel for appellant objected to his testifying, on the ground that his information was privileged. The court overruled the objection and compelled the attorney to testify. “We do not consider the fact that the attorney knew that appellant was the person who had been convicted in the previous prosecution was privileged. As the trial court observed, it was merely a matter of seeing, and the knowledge that the attorney defended the same man in court. It was therefore not a privileged communication. With this we agree.””
