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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Ordinarily, the reopening of a case after it has been submitted to the jury and before verdict for the purpose of receiving further evidence is a matter addressed to the sound judicial discretion of the trial court. Lee v. State, 201 Miss. 423 , 29 So.2d 211 (1946)[(1947)], suggestion of error overruled in 201 Miss. 423 , 30 So.2d 74 (1947); reversed on other grounds, 332 U.S. 742 , 68 Sup. Ct. 300, 92 L.Ed. 330 ; mandate conformed to 203 Miss. 264 , 34 So.2d 736 [(1948)]. This rule imports a requirement that a cogent reason be found to exist which demands reopening in order that justice may be done. Moreover, when a case is reopened for the reception of further evidence, it must be done in such a manner that the rights of all parties will be protected and ample opportunity afforded them for cross examination or rebuttal, and even for requesting additional instructions, if the matters introduced should reasonably require them.”
