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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In a prosecution against a defendant charged as an accomplice, it is essential for the state to establish the guilt of the principal of the crime charged to have been committed by him. In this case it was essential for the state to establish the guilt of John Middleton, the alleged principal, of the murder of James H. Black. Without proof of Middleton’s guilt as principal, the defendant could not be convicted as an accomplice.””
