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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The crimes were all committed, in point of time, within the space of an hour and in the immediate neighborhood of each other, showing a systematic plan of criminal actions, and all fairly attributable to the same person. The evidence was relevant and competent, as conducing to prove the identity of the perpetrator of the crime at Foster’s, with that at Hutchen’s, whom the evidence conduced to prove was the accused.””
