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.

“No indictment or information, or any count thereof, shall be dismissed ... on account of any defect in the form of the indictment or information . . . unless the court shall be of the opinion that the indictment or information is so vague, indistinct or indefinite as to mislead the accused and embarrass him in the preparation of his defense or expose him after conviction or acquittal to substantial danger of a new prosecution for the same offense.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Is a grand jury indictment insufficient to sustain a conviction when it fails to specify the place where the crime allegedly occurred, even though this allegation is subsequently supplied by a bill of particulars, the defendant is not hindered in the preparation or presentation of his defense, and the situs of the crime is proven at trial?”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Wolowych · Monroe v. State“[p]roper jurisdictional allegations are as essential in an accusatory writ as are those relating to the material elements of the crime.”
