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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The said defendant Henry Thompson on the 23 day of December, 1942, in Cleveland County, Arkansas, did unlawfully murder Mrs. Susie Vetito against the peace and dignity of the State of Arkansas * * *." It would not appear that Bosnick was in ignorance of the details of the crime with which he was charged, but in such case, he could have moved for a Bill of Particulars as provided in 43-1006.”
