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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““I charge you that there are two essential elements required to be proved in order to establish the offense charged in the indictment. First, the act or acts of transporting or causing to be transported in interstate commerce a stolen motor vehicle as charged, and second, doing such act or acts willfully and with knowledge that the motor vehicle has been stolen. The offense is complete when the two elements just stated are established by the evidence in the case.””
