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.

““ ‘It is to be presumed that the jury understood what the words ‘reasonable doubt’ meant. The idea intended to be expressed by these words can scarcely be expressed so truly or so clearly by any other words in the English language.’ ” (Citing from State v. Davis, 48 Kan. 1, 10-11 , 28 Pac. 1092 .)”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Appellant first complains he was taken into custody by virtue of an arrest warrant issued upon a defective complaint and therefore the trial court erred in denying his motion for discharge. Assuming arguendo, that his arrest may have been illegal, he fails to point out resulting prejudice. We have frequently held that an illegal arrest and detention do not, standing alone, invalidate a subsequent convistion [Citation omitted.].” (p. 661.)”
