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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A defense raised by the defendant in this case is that of alibi. This is a recognized defense under the law. The defendant contends that he was somewhere other than at the place where the crime is alleged to have been committed and when it is alleged to have been committed. If the evidence on this point raises in your mind a reasonable doubt as to the defendant’s guilt, you must give him the benefit of that doubt and return a verdict of not guilty.”
