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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The words ‘did in any way help, aid, and assist’ are complained of. Counsel state that the court should have specified what aiding and helping would have been sufficient, but that, by the use of this ‘indiscriminate’ term, it left the jury to speculate and consider any remote type of help and even to supply to its own ideas.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Smothers““It would be virtually impossible to hypothesize in an instruction every possible fact which might constitute a means of help or assistance, and the recital of some but not all of these would certainly be claimed to be objectional.””
