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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a direct penalty of incarceration for any period of time[.]”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Brush v. Klauck · State v. Bowers“Even if we were to accept the analysis of legislative history offered in Roberts , we could not give literal endorsement to an 1887 law that referred to $20 as the demarcation line for jury trials. This law was written at a time when traffic laws were nonexistent and the purchasing power of a dollar was probably twenty times or more what it is today.... The rule of law that incorporated exist ing statutory law into our state constitution upon its adoption should be followed in matters of legal principle, but it becomes absurd when followed literally in regard to monetary amounts.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Riemers v. Eslinger“relatively innocuous in character such as violations of traffic laws, sanitation codes, and building codes, [which] can be viewed as merely regulatory rather than criminal in their thrust as long as incarceration is not one of the modes of punishment.”
