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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Court instructs the Jury for the State of Mississippi that you are the sole judges as to the credibility of witnesses, and, in determining whether witnesses will be believed or not, you are not bound by the opinions of other witnesses, but have a right to consider all the testimony of the case, the motives, and interests of any witness, the nature of his testimony, and all the facts in evidence throwing light upon the point.”
