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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Under our constitution it is proper for counsel to argue the law as well as the facts in a criminal case. Accordingly, it is not error for the court to permit counsel to read from appellate decisions or learned treatises where it is clear that the matter quoted is argument and not evidence. On the other hand, the control of final argument is generally a matter within the sound discretion of the trial court. This discretion extends to the reading of “law” to the jury. [Emphasis added, citations omitted.].”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““It is your duty to reconcile the statements of witnesses so as to give credence to all of the testimony, if you can, on the theory that the defendant is innocent; but if you cannot do this on account of contradictions, then upon you rests the responsibility of determining who you will believe and who you will disbelieve. You are the sole judges of the credibility of the witnesses and of the weight to be given to the testimony of each of them. . .”
