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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is error to permit county attorney to go into details concerning the crime for which the defendant has been formerly convicted, as that is a collateral matter, not relevant to the crime charged and the' conviction may only be considered for'the limited purpose of assessing the punishment if defendant is found guilty of the offense charged.””
