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 108 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In order to render the verdict and judgment of not guilty upon the draft offered in evidence conclusive upon the facts which the prosecution sought to prove for the purpose of showing guilty knowledge, it must appear with certainty from the evidence offered in support of the alleged estoppel that those facts were directly and necessarily found by the verdict in that case in favor of the defendant; or, in other words, that the jury could not have found the verdict which they did without having passed directly upon the facts offered to be proved and found them against the prosecution; for if it be doubtful upon which of several points the verdict was founded, it will not be an estoppel as to either. * * No evidence as to the estoppel, either by the record or by parol, was offered and the whole question as to what facts were directly determined in the first case is to be determined upon the bald admission of the District Attorney that the defendant had been indicted for forging the endorsement upon the draft in question and for uttering the draft knowing the endorsement to be forged and that he had been tried upon such indictment and found not guilty by the jury. * * * ””
