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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The argument of counsel for appellee was of the most inflammatory nature and calculated to arouse the most intense passion and indignation of the jury towards appellant. Much of it is not based upon the facts disclosed in the statement of facts, and is abusive of appellant and of a man who was Bet a witness in tile case, and was abused because he did not testify. Such phillippics may be permissible in partisan politics, or in the denunciation of disloyalty and treason from the rostrum, but can find no excuse for existence before the alters of justice, where sober judgment and calm consideration of facts should guide and direct the actions of judge and jury. “No such acrimonious invective should be countenanced in a court of justice and equity.””
