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 100 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a)ny other matter (besides the statutory mitigating circumstances) brought before you which you deem to be mitigating on behalf of the Defendant”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]here the offense charged and that offered to be proved are so interrelated as to constitute a single transaction or occurrence or a closely related series of transactions or occurrences. Such proof of another crime is also admissible where it is necessary to identify the defendant, where it is material to prove motive, and there is an apparent relation or connection between the act proposed to be proved and that charged, where the accusation involves a series of criminal acts which must be proved to make out the offense, or where it is necessary to prove scienter or guilty knowledge.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“A further statement of the Miranda warnings was given to Gray, but a brief preliminary interrogation [proved] to be unfruitful. However, as the officers and Gray were ascending in the elevator, Gray spontaneously said, “If I take you to her will you help me?” No offer of help was made to Gray but he offered to take the officers to where he had left Derissa. Needless to say, this offer was accepted and Gray and the officers entered an automobile to be directed by Gray to the place where he had left the child.”
