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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Code of Criminal Procedure on this subject prescribes that the bond shall require the defendant to appear before the proper court ‘to answer the accusation against him.’ And in order that the accusation may be shown to be such as to authorize the bond, it is further prescribed ‘that the offense of which the defendant is accused be distinctly named in the bond, and that it appear therefrom that he is accused of some offense against the laws of the state.’ ””
