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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is, of course, permissible and proper to attempt to attack the credibility of a witness by showing that at a prior time and place he made a statement which was at variance with or contradictory to the testimony he gave at the instant trial. However, before this privilege is extended, the witness must first deny that he made the prior statement. Otherwise no occasion for impeachment arises.””
