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.
“Jocularity and humor, by a court, should not be indulged in when a man’s liberty is at stake. The officers of a court, and especially the judge, district attorney and sheriff, because of the attributes of the offices they hold, unconsciously exert tremendous influence in the trial of a case, and they should be astutely careful so that unintentionally the jurors are not improperly influenced by their words and actions.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“While we do not condone the apparent informality of some of the trial judge’s comments, we can find no instance where the trial court made light of the proceedings or joked at the defendant’s expense. Instead, the record reflects that the jury was made well aware of the importance of their role and their duty to conscientiously consider the evidence, apply the law, and reach a just verdict.”
