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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““* * * The court properly permitted the question to be asked solely for the purpose of testing the credibility of Jewell Tullis. Jewell Tullis answered that she had not made the statements attributed to her, and this should have ended the matter. The court erred in allowing the State to contradict Jewell Tullis by the testimony of Beatrice Norwood, as stated above. A party cannot examine a witness as to collateral matters and then impeach him by proof of contradictory statements.””
