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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The charge of the court must be considered as a whole, in the same connected way as given to the jury, and upon the presumption that the jury did not overlook any portion of it. If, when so construed, it presents the law fairly and correctly to the jury, there is no ground for reversing the judgment, though some of the expressions, when standing alone, may be regarded as erroneous. Kornegay v. R. R. , 154 N.C. 389 ; S. v. Robertson , 166 N.C. 356 ; S. v. Lance , 149 N.C. 551 ; McNeill v. R. R. , 167 N.C. 390 ; Thompson on Trials, sec. 2407.”
