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.
“* * The remarks which were complained of only after the verdict of guilty had come in constitute a good example of the way the government should not present a ease to the jury. However, the evidence in the case just about demonstrates appellant’s guilt, and it is hardly conceivable that the accusations by government counsel could have influenced the verdict in the slightest. Since we hold this view and since counsel for the appellant was satisfied with the situation at the time the case was given to the jury, we hold that the misconduct did not constitute reversible error.””
