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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. The verdict of guilty was contrary to the weight of the evidence. 2. The allegations contained in the information that an assault was made with a “dangerous and deadly weapon, to-wit: gun, loaded with gunpowder and leaden balls” was not supported by the evidence in that no evidence was produced to show that an assault was made with a loaded weapon. 3. The closing argument of the State was highly prejudicial in that the prosecutor brought in his personal feelings toward defendant and stated that defendant was training his brother in crime when there was no evidence of same. 4. The instructions numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4 were prejudicial and erroneous. 5. The punishment set by the jury was excessive. 6. The State failed to make a submissi-ble case for the jury.”
