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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We feel that the trial judge should be in a better position to render a fair judgment where the sentence to be pronounced is left to him than this court, because he has had an opportunity of hearing the evidence and of observing the demeanor of the witnesses, and unless this court can say after an exam- rnation of the reco.rd that the sentence thus imposed by the trial court is so excessive that it is manifestly unfair and apparently given under passion or prejudice, we should not modify the sentence so imposed.””
