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 63 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he purpose of [this kind of] evidence [is] to show motive for the killing on the part of the defendant and the evidence of prior acts, declarations, and threats of the accused, though no part of the res gestae, is admissible when it substantially tends to establish motive or intention of the accused to commit the crime.”
