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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant in this case pleads what is known as an alibi; that is, that he was not present at the time and place when and where it is charged the offense, for which he is on trial, was committed. It devolves upon the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the presence of the defendant at the time and place when and where the offense was committed, if you find it was committed; and if upon a consideration of all the evidence, you have a reasonable doubt of the presence of the defendant at the time and place when and where the offense was committed, if you find it was committed, you will find the defendant not guilty.””
