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 66 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To be admissible, proof of the commission of another crime or other crimes must have some legitimate tendency to prove that the accused committed the crime for which he is being tried.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is clearly not admissible on the theory that, if a person will commit one offense, he will commit another.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Appellant denied the commission of any offense and did not offer proof of his intoxication in mitigation of or excuse for an admitted act. He made no pretense that he was so intoxicated that he did not know what he was doing. He denied participation in the Forgey robbery outright. “Testimony tending to show that appellant went to sleep in a chair after he reached home and was later undressed and put to bed by relatives merely went to support his alibi and to show that he was physically incapable of being at the scene of and committing the robbery, at the time it was shown to have occurred, by reason of his complete stupefaction from intoxication.””
