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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We think that the testimony of this witness, as it appears in the record, is highly incredible. Aside from that, the portion of it relating to the commission of similar offenses at other times was clearly incompetent. Proof of another offense or of prior arrests is not admissible to convince a jury that it is probable that the offense charged has been committed. There are exceptions to this rule, but the case here considered is not one of such.””
