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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “"(a) A charge may be amended in matters of substance at any time before the defendant pleads, without leave of court. "(b) The court may permit any charge to be amended as to form at any time before verdict or finding if no additional or different offense is charged and if the substantial rights of the defendant are not prejudiced. "(c) No charge shall be dismissed because of a formal defect which does not tend to prejudice a substantial right of the defendant." (Emphasis supplied.)”
