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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Fourth: — That the said Judge on Wednesday, July 29th, 1931, at a time when the defendants were in the Breathitt county jail, went in an automobile to Loss Creek, and while there within a short distance of the place where William Barnett was shot, had a meeting with Farrish Barnett, the brother of William Barnett, and for almost an hour counselled and advised with him and other relatives of the said William Barnett and witnesses for the Commonwealth against the said defendants in this case.””
