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.

“A party cannot during the trial ignore what he thinks to be an injustice, take his chances on a favorable verdict, and complain later.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a] ground not raised by objection at trial cannot be raised for the first time on appeal.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Which party is entitled to open and close is oftentimes unclear, based on whether or not any admissible testimony or documentary evidence has been introduced by the accused. It is beyond question in this state that where an accused offers no testimony or evidence into the trial of a case, other than his own testimony, he has the right to the opening and closing arguments.”
