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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Of course the jury ought to make a finding with respect to each separate count, for in all cases like this each separate count charges a separate and distinct offense. [Citation.] But when the verdict of the jury is silent as to some one or more of the counts and contains a finding of guilty as to the other counts, it must be presumed that the jury intended to find as to the counts concerning which the verdict is silent, that the defendant was not guilty. Such, we think, is the universal belief in practice.” (p. 627.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. Taylor““But whatever may have been the actual intention of the two juries that tried this case at the first two trials, it necessarily follows from § 10 of the bill of rights of the constitution that the defendant could not again be tried after such two trials. That section provides, among other things, as follows: ‘No person shall ... be twice put in jeopardy for the same offense.’” (p. 627.)”
