The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“The proper limitation of cross examination and the range to be permitted during such examination is a matter that in criminal cases as well as in civil cases, lies within the sound discretion of the trial court. Under the circumstances, defense counsel should have trimmed his sails to the judicial wind as prevailed in the courtroom. The controlling principle thus is clear when a defense attorney disobeys the direct command of a judge. The attorney must swallow his disappointment, save the point for review, and wait until later, if it is error, to be corrected. Meanwhile he must submit to the judge. (Citations omitted.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Sandstrom v. State““ . . . This Court has always recognized that a trial Court has wide latitude in regulating the conduct of trials in order that the administration of justice be speedily and fairly achieved in an orderly, dignified manner and befitting the gravity of the business in hand. In this function the trial Judge exercises the sound discretion with which he is vested. This discretion may be invoked and its exercise reasonably required for many reasons.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ . . . The trial court is under a positive duty to conduct an orderly trial, and the public, as well as the persons more directly involved, have the right to look to the judge for guidance, for the maintenance of dignity, and decorum so essential to the proper administration of justice and, in short, the trial court embodies the personification of fairness and equality before the law.””
