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.
““Moreover, this case is like the case of State v. Champoux, 33 Wash. 339 , 74 Pac. 557 , where the allegation of the information as to when the death occurred after the assault was much more defective than in the instant case. It was there alleged that the assault was made on November 5, 1902, and that the deceased ‘then and there languished and languishing died,’ and the information being filed on November 8, 1902, it was held that the allegation of the information was sufficient to charge that the death, although after alleging that the deceased languished, occurred within a year and a day after the assault.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The character of the deceased is presumed to have been quiet and peaceable, and until it is attacked by the defense it may not be made the subject of proof by the prosecution. Where, however, the state (sic) makes an attack on the deceased's character, the prosecution in rebuttal may show that it was quiet and peaceable." 13 R. C. L. 916-917.”
