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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whether or not a statement made by a defendant is a confession or admission or an exculpatory statement depends entirely on the -nature of the statement. In order that the jury might clearly understand the nature of the statement made by the defendant, it is not only proper for the trial judge to instruct the jury on the law governing admissions, confessions and exculpatory statements, hut it would appear to us that it would be the better practice to do so in order that the jury might ascertain its nature and the effect to be given it.””
