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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘1 Surely, the law has not become so entangled in its machine that it is helpless and unable to extricate itself ’ ’ (People ex rel. Sloan v. Lawes, 255 App. Div. 112, 118 ). “ It is no answer to state that the defendant himself pleaded guilty to the charge. A plea of guilty may not be substituted for the crime itself. Without the crime first, a plea thereof is a nullity.” (People v. Foster, supra, p. 77 .)”
