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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"... In the absence of a plea to the indictment or charge, there was nothing for the jury to determine. See S. v. Camby, 209 N.C., 50 , 182 S.E., 715 . Speaking to a similar situation in S. v. Cunningham, 94 N.C., 824 , Ashe, J., delivering the opinion of the Court, said: ‘There is manifest error in the judgment of the Superior Court. First, for the reason that there was no plea filed by the defendant, and therefore no issue to be submitted to the jury, and consequently the verdict returned by them was a nullity; and it must follow, as a necessary consequence, that no judgment could be pronounced upon such a verdict.’ See S. v. Beal, 199 N.C., 278 , 154 S.E., 604 ; S. v. Walters, 208 N.C., 391 , 180 S.E., 664 ; S. v. Stewart, 89 N.C., 563 .””
