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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . Several separate and distinct felonies may be charged in separate counts of one and the same information, where all of the offenses charged are of tire same general character, requiring the same mode of trial, the same kind of evidence, and the same kind of punishment . . . The defendant may be tried upon all the several counts of the information at one and the same time, and in one trial; but all this rests in the sound judicial discretion of the trial court. In some cases the trial court might, without committing material error, quash such an information; or it might require the state to elect upon which one or more of the several counts it would proceed to trial or rely for a verdict; but we cannot say that in this case the court abused its discretion or committed any material error.” (p. 892.)”
