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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Over objections.of the defendant the trial court received in evidence the court records, showing that defendant had given a recognizance bond with sureties to appear at a prior term of said circuit court, and that defendant failed to appear at such term of court, and that his bond was forfeited by reason thereof. This ruling is assigned as error. We are of the view that there was no error in this ruling. The conduct of a defendant after the time of the commission of the alleged offense, and his attitude and relation toward such alleged crime, are always relevant. While such conduct may not be sufficient evidence to alone warrant a conviction, still it constitutes a circumstance which the jury have a right to take into consideration in connection with all the other evidence in the case.””
