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.

1. ““1. The granting or denial of a Motion for Continuance filed on the day of trial,' rests within the sound discretion of the trial court. The action of the trial court in denying a Motion for Continuance will not be disturbed on review unless it can be shown that the action of the trial court was arbitrary and capricious. “2. A person charged with a felony, who had ample opportunity to secure counsel is not permitted to wait until the day preceding the trial of his case to employ counsel, file a Motion for Continuance on the day of trial alleging inadequate time to prepare his defense; and predicate error on the trial courts refusal to grant the same.””
