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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A party has a right to insist that the court shall instruct the jury specifically on all legal questions necessary to enable them to reach a true verdict, and to have instructions made so specific as to apply to the facts of the particular case as developed by the evidence."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"When two or more persons combine to commit a crime, each is criminally responsible for the acts of his confederates committed in the furtherance of the common design, the act of each being the act of all. However, one who has encouraged the commission of a crime may nevertheless, before its completion, withdraw all his aid and encouragement and escape criminal liability for the completed crime. In order to constitute an effective abandonment of a criminal enterprise, there must be some appreciable interval between the alleged abandonment and the criminal act. The accused must have wholly and effectively detached himself from the criminal enterprise before the act with which he is charged is in the process of consummation or has become so inevitable that it cannot reasonably be stayed. The process of detachment must be such as to show not only a determination upon the part of the accused to go no further but also such as to give his co-conspirators a reasonable opportunity, if they desire, to follow his example and refrain from further action before the action `in question' is committed."”
