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.
““Punishment is not an element of said crimes and when punishment is not to be imposed by the jury it is not a matter to be placed before the jury by the State for consideration. If the material elements of a criminal violation are proved beyond a reasonable doubt and such is found by the jury they should find the accused guilty of the crime as charged or a lesser included offense. . ****** “In this case the collateral issue sought to be placed before the jury by the prosecuting attorney was improperly interjected for the reason that the statute fixes the sentence which is applied by the judgment of the trial court after a proper finding 'of guilty by the jury.” (our emphasis.)”
