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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a)n indictment or affidavit is not bad for duplicity for joining in one count, as one offense, offenses committed at the same time, by the same person, as parts of the same transaction, and subjecting defendant to the same punishment.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Vest v. State · Broderick v. State“This court on several occasions has held that an indictment or affidavit is not subject to a motion to quash because it contains evidentiary matters; that such matters will be treated as surplusage, and are not prejudicial to the rights of the defendant, unless they are wholly foreign to the subject-matter of the indictment or affidavit.”
