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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * whether you be the ringleader or whether you are aiding and abetting the principal in the commission of an offense, you are into it, just as much one way as you are the other. Whether you are a follower, or whether you are the leader, if you go about in the violation of the law in breaking and entering or in larceny, you can have a small part and you are just as guilty in the eyes of the law as if you were the ringleader.””
