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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The point is not well taken. The jury was instructed as to the defense of alibi, and told that if they had a reasonable doubt of the presence of the defendants, or either of them, at the time and place where the crime was committed, they should acquit them, or either of them. This was entirely sufficient for the purpose, and gave defendants the full benefit of that defense, and did not place the burden upon them.”
