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.
““The defendant is entitled to require the election before he introduces any proof so that he can meet by his proof the evidence upon which the State relies . The state can make a voluntary election as soon as its proof is in, and the prosecuting attorney will thus be relieved of any embarrassment and enabled to concentrate his efforts . The error committed immediately touched constitutional rights of the defendant, and he is therefore entitled to a new trial.””
