Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The general rule is that counsel may argue all the evidence to the jury, with such inferences as may be drawn therefrom; but he may not ‘travel outside of the record’ and inject into his argument facts of his own knowledge or other facts not included in the evidence.
