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 124 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In argument before the jury, counsel may comment upon facts properly in evidence and upon reasonable inferences drawn therefrom. United States v. Dibrizzi, 393 F.2d 642 (2nd Cir.); State v. Evans, 165 Conn. 61 , 71 , 327 A.2d 576 . Comments to the jury will not constitute error unless they are prejudicial and deprive the defendant of a fair trial. Donnelly v. DeChristoforo , 416 U.S. 637 , 643 , 94 S.Ct. 1868 , 40 L.Ed.2d 431 . Moreover, the comments must be viewed in the context of the entire trial. United States v. Phillips , 482 F.2d 191 (8th Cir.), cert. den., 414 U.S. 1114 , 94 S.Ct. 846 , 38 L.Ed.2d 741 .”
