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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the accused testified, the inadequacies and admissions in his testimony may be corroborative of the accomplice’s testimony. Corroborating evidence may be secured from the defendant’s association with those involved in the crime in such a way as to suggest joint participation, as well as from the defendant’s opportunity and motive to commit the crime * * *.”
10 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Thoresen · State v. Rupp“A conviction cannot be had upon the testimony of an accomplice, unless it is corroborated by such other evidence as tends to convict the defendant of the commission of the offense, and the corroboration is not sufficient if it merely shows the commission of the offense or the circumstances thereof.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Nelson · State v. Scheu“Whoever * * * intentionally causes the death of another person in the heat of passion provided by such words or acts of another as would provoke a person of ordinary self-control under like circumstances * * * [is guilty of manslaughter in the first degree].”
