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 84 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he State must carry the burden and show beyond a reasonable doubt that North Carolina has jurisdiction to try the accused.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“When jurisdiction is challenged, the defendant is contesting the very power of this State to try him. We are of the view that a question as basic as jurisdiction is not an 'independent, distinct, substantive matter of exemption, immunity or defense' and ought not to be regarded as an affirmative defense on which the defendant must bear the burden of proof. Rather, jurisdiction is a matter which, when contested , should be proven by the prosecution as a prerequisite to the authority of the court to enter judgment.”
