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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Confinement in jail prior to trial is not authorized because defendant may eventually be convicted of the charge by a jury, or as any part of his punishment, if guilty, but to assure his presence when the case is called for trial and during the progress thereof. The only theory on which bail can be denied in any capital case is that the proof is so strong as to indicate the probability that defendant will flee if he has the opportunity, rather than face the verdict of a jury. Where the proof is not evident or the presumption great the accused should be admitted to bail in such sum as in the judgment of the court will insure his presence to submit himself in judgment before the trial court.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"The rule as thus stated is out of harmony with our conclusion here, and that ease is overruled in'so far as it states such rule. This rule permits the presumption arising from the finding of an indictment for a capital offense to be weighed in the scales when the actual evidence is before the court. When the evidence is before the court, such presumption performs no office whatever.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““That all persons shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, except for capital offenses, where the proof is evident or the presumption great. ’ ’”
