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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]n a trial for a misdemeanor, the accused may, by his own fault or misconduct, waive his right to be present.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Jones plead not guilty and moved for a continuance on the ground that he was sick and physically unable to stand trial at the term... . The court overruled the motion for continuance and set the trial for the following Monday, when the appellant was tried in his involuntary absence and convicted. This was error. (emphasis added)”
