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.

““But, as pointed out by the Supreme Court, latent, subjective prejudice of that sort is not enough to require a judge to disqualify himself in a jury case.” See Walker v. Bishop, 295 F. Supp. 767, 773 .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It was the theory of the defense at the second trial that Vaughan was killed by a bullet fired from Barentine’s gun which bullet had struck the Oldsmobile on the rear bumper and had, according to the defense, ricocheted striking Vaughan and inflicting a mortal wound. At the second trial Walker took the stand in his own defense and denied that he had fired any shots; he also denied that he had more than one gun; it was the State’s theory that he had two.”
