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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The appellant was arrested by three police officers. Yet, only one of these officers testified at the trial. The State's only other witness was a police chemist who testified as to the marijuana content of a package. The defendant testified in his own behalf.”
