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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendants and witnesses shall not be subjected to physical restraints while in court unless the trial court has found such restraints reasonably necessary to maintain order. If the trial judge orders such restraints, he shall enter into the record of the case the reasons therefore. Whenever physical restraint of a defendant or witness occurs in the presence of the jurors trying the case, the judge shall upon request of the defendant or his attorney instruct the jury that such restraint is not to be considered in assessing the proof and determining the guilt.”
