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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is insisted that the verdict was against the great weight of the evidence. While we are not ‘triers of facts,’ it is only our duty under the statute (3 Comp. Laws 1915, § 12635 [3 Comp. Laws 1929, § 14314]) when such a claim is properly presented, to examine the testimony and determine whether the verdict is ‘manifestly against the clear weight of the evidence.’ Foster v. Rinz, 202 Mich. 601 .””
