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.
““In every criminal case the defendant is clothed with the presumption of .innocence, an abiding presumption to be overcome only by evidence of guilt removing all reasonable doubt. ' This presumption, and burden of proof cast upon the state, should be fully sented in the oral charge. Special charges' in varying language are usually given at defendant’s request.””
