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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Accomplice; What is an accomplice? What is the law regarding accomplices in the State of Florida? First of all, when two or more persons take part in the commission of a crime, each is an accomplice of the other. That is an accomplice. The testimony of an accomplice must be received with great caution and carefully and closely examined by you before a conviction is based on the testimony of an accomplice. This is particularly true where there is neither direct testimony nor circumstances tending to corroborate the testimony of an accomplice. However, the testimony of an accomplice, even though uncorroborated, is sufficient upon which to base a conviction if you are convinced of the testimony and of the defendant's guilt beyond and to the exclusion of every reasonable doubt.”
