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 48 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In determining whether or not error was committed, a single sentence may not be extracted and construed without regard to the context of the entire charge. State v. Banusik, 84 N. J. L. 640 (E. & A. 1906). The court cannot state the law of the case in a single sentence and the esiarge must be read as a whole in the light of a sensible construction to determine its legal worth. State v. Tachin, 92 N. J. L. 269 (Sup. Ct. 1919), affirmed, 93 N. J. L. 485 (E. & A. 1919). Although certain sentences in a charge taken alone may need some amplification to render them accurate, yet if such amplification be given in the context so that the jury cannot be misled, there is no error justifying reversal. State v. Frank, 90 N. J. L. 78 (Sup. Ct. 1917), affirmed, 91 N. J. L. 718 (E. & A. 1918).””
