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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The record does not show that the witness was a ‘coconspirator,’ within the meaning of that term. He did not participate in the criminal act, and did not suggest or plan it. It does show that the appellant planned and committed the crime. It further shows that he suggested the commission of the crime to the witness, who had, in anticipation of some such suggestion, been appointed a deputy sheriff by the sheriff of Lyon County, and was acting as such, without the knowledge of the appellant, when appellant invited him to join in the commission of the crime of larceny; that the witness consented to join in the offense, but did not, and kept his principal, the sheriff, fully informed as to what was transpiring between .him and appellant.””
