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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“it is part of the express or implied understanding that an accomplice admitted to testify for the prosecution shall tell all he knows, . . . and he cannot refuse to answer a relevant question on cross-examination under the rule that he shall not incriminate himself .... In other words, an accomplice will not be permitted to disclose part of the facts and withhold the rest. He must tell the whole. The cross-examination of a witness is a right and not a mere privilege, . . . and any subject touched on in the examination-in-chief is open to cross-examination.”
