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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Having previously been convicted' is now a necessary element of the new offense and must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt by the state. This includes the question of identity. It would not be sufficient for the state to prove that `John Smith' was previously convicted in Cuyahoga County. It must now prove that the `John Smith' previously convicted in Cuyahoga County was one and the same person as the John Smith' now on trial.'”
