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 46 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Our decisions are to the effect that, if there is a verdict of ‘guilty as charged’ and the trial is free from error, or if there is a plea of guilty as charged, a single judgment pronounced thereon will be upheld, (citations omitted.) In such case, it is regarded immaterial whether the verdict be considered as relating to the larceny count or to the ‘receiving’ count. In short, since it has been established that the defendant is guilty of one or the other, in either case the judgment is sufficiently supported.””
