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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Here we think the trial court abused its discretion by not setting aside the verdict. Obviously, the jurors did not fairly answer the questions put to them by the court. Of course, truthful answers to the questions would not necessarily have disqualified the jurors, but how can we assert that they returned a fair verdict when they did not give fair answers to questions of the court? When viewed from the standpoint that ‘justice ought not only to be fair but appear to be fair, ’ Arkansas State Hwy. Comm’n v. Young, 241 Ark. 765 , 410 S.W. 2d 120 (1967), we think the trial court under the record here abused its discretion in not setting aside the verdict.””
