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 65 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A trial judge is allowed the exercise of broad discretion in deciding whether th[e] high degree of necessity [for the granting of a mistrial] is present.”
