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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The ground on which the evidence is admitted is that it tends to show the intent with which the crime charged was committed or attempted. Where the act constituting the crime speaks for itself as showing the intent, or where the criminal intent is presumed from the act itself, such evidence is not admissible; but where different inferences may be drawn regarding the intent with which the alleged criminal act was done and the circumstances of the act may be susceptible of an interpretation indicating innocence, then such evidence is admissible.”
