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.

““ * * * There is no suggestion in the statute that the ‘other proof’ must be sufficient to establish defendant’s guilt ‘beyond a reasonable doubt,’ or even that it must tend to prove his connection with the commission of the alleged crime. In fact, the language of the statute requires other proof of the corpus delicti rather than of defendant’s connection with the commission of the alleged crime, (cases cited).” State v. Webb, 239 Iowa 693, 701 , 31 N.W.2d 337, 341 (1948).”
