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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[w]henever the writ of coram nobis has been recognized to invoke the jurisdiction of a trial court, it has been only under very unusual circumstances, and then only if it appears from the petition that the facts tendered as a basis for a new trial would have prevented the judgment entered, and also that the facts tendered were unknown at the time of the trial and it was through no lack of diligence or reasonable care on the part of the defendant that they were not presented”
