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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Clearly it would be improper, for impeachment purposes, to show accusation, arrest, or indictment as well against the accused in a criminal trial as against a witness in any case, civil or criminal. We have pointed out in furtherance of this principle that where the time for appeal had not expired, evidence of a conviction is inadmissible. * * * We are satisfied that the intendment of our Code * * * requires that there be a final conviction before ‘such fact may be given in evidence.’ ””
