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 56 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The court may grant a new trial to a defendant if required in the interest of justice. If trial was by the court without-a jury the court may vacate the judg- .. - ment if entered, take additional testimony and direct the entry of a new judg- ■ meht. A motion for a new trial based on the ground of newly discovered evidence may be made only ^before or within two yefu;s after final judgment, but if, an ap- '' iieal is pending the court may grant the ' motion only on remand of the 'case. A motion for a new trial based on any other grounds shall be made within 5 days after verdict or" finding of guilty or >within such ’ further time as the court may fix during the 5-day period.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“It seems now to be settled that the order overruling the motion for new trial is a final order from which an appeal will lie. However, the court cannot substitute its judgment on the facts for that of the trial judge; it has no power to try the facts de novo; it can review the record for errors of law only, to determine, among other things, whether the trial judge has abused his discretion.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““The trial judge, from his knowledge of the original trial, from having heard the witnesses testify and observed their demeanor on the stand, was better qualified than is this court to pass on the affidavits. We do not find that the trial judge abused his discretion in overruling the motion for new trial. The judgment is therefore affirmed.””
