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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The efforts of a trial court to dispatch the business before them is commendable, but the rights of an accused person, or a litigant before the court, to fully and properly present testimony in his own behalf and to cross-examine witnesses testifying adversely is of more importance, and should not be abridged, even for the sake of expedition.””

State““You are instructed that where the State relies entirely on circumstantial evidence, it is necessary in order to convict not only that such chain of circumstances should point to, and be consistent with the defendant’s guilt, but that the chain of circumstances should be inconsistent with any other reasonable hypothesis.” (Emphasis supplied).”
