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 47 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Appellants now contend that the motion was intended to advise the court that there was a conflict of interest between the two appellants and therefore representation of both by a single attorney would deprive them of effective assistance of counsel. Denial of such a motion is reversible error where there is some possibility that appellants have divergent interests so that one or both might not receive ‘untrammeled and unimpaired’ assistance from common counsel. (Glasser v. United States, 315 U.S. 60, 70 , 62 S.Ct. 457 , 86 L.Ed. 680 [at p. 699] (1942). “But common representation is not error per se. There must be some possibility of conflicting interest, and hence of prejudice. [Footnote omitted.] Appellants did not identify any possible divergence of interest in the trial court; their briefs to this court suggest none; the government contends that no possible conflict could have existe d and we have found none in our examination of the record. ’ ’”

3. ““The term ‘recently’ is a relative term and has no fixed meaning. Whether property be considered as recently stolen depends upon the nature of the property and all the facts and circumstances shown by the evidence in the ease. The longer the period of time since the theft, the more doubtful becomes the inference which may reasonably be drawn from unexplained possession.””
