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.

““In the case under consideration, as in most situations of this nature, we cannot say with certainty that the jurors were prejudiced by the reference to the ‘rap sheet,’ but we are less sure that they were not. Definitely the manner in which the reference was made was improper, and it left open to the jury a broad field of speculation as to appellant’s character and possibly his criminal record.””
