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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It has been held by this court that the officer issuing the warrant and before whom it is returned is its proper custodian thereafter, and if it should be lost or misplaced that he is the proper witness to prove such loss and his inability to find it. Craft v. Commonwealth, 196 Ky. 277 . However, this does not mean that after such loss is established that no one else is permitted to testify as to the contents of the lost paper; indeed, under such circumstances, we think anyone who is familiar with the contents of the paper may then testify in reference thereto. ??”
