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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A conviction cannot be had upon the testimony of an accomplice ... unless corroborated by other evidence which shall tend to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense; and the corroboration is not sufficient if it merely shows the commission of the offense or the circumstances thereof.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Hoeck · State v. Larue““We disapprove Uniform Instructions reluctantly.” State v. Jeffries, 313 N.W.2d 508, 509 (Iowa 1981). Further, a trial court is not required to instruct in the language of requested instructions so long as the topic is covered by the court’s own instructions. State v. Horn, 282 N.W.2d 717, 730 (Iowa 1979). The definition of accomplice requested by [the defendant] may be clearer and more easily followed by a jury. That, however, is not the issue. The court’s instructions covered the topic adequately and there was no error in refusing [the defendant’s] proffered addition. Id.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Ripperger“If it appears from the . . . information and the minutes of evidence that the particulars stated do not constitute the offense charged . . ., the court may and on motion of the defendant shall dismiss the information unless the prosecuting attorney shall furnish a bill of particulars which so states the particulars as to cure the defect.”
