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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[l]ook at the defendant. I have observed him for the past two days and he sat and showed no emotion whatever during the trial of this cause.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“that the defendant sat in the courtroom and showed no emotion, and the implication was clear that, for that reason, he must be guilty.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Except where his identity is in issue, or where the remark is with respect to his appearance while he was testifying, it is generally held improper to remark on the personal appearance of accused, although the circumstances and the nature and language of the comment itself may take a particular case out of the general rule, as where there is no intimation in *Page 1095 the remark that the accused has a bad or guilty look.”
