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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“though sufficient to withstand a motion for judgment of acquittal, the case was not so strong that it can confidently be said that the repeated ‘gambling’ references had no illegitimate effect on the jury’s assessment of the evidence. On what was perhaps the crucial issue, the jury would certainly have been warranted in concluding beyond a reasonable doubt that Carpenter acted with intent to defraud, but a contrary conclusion also would have been rationally possible on the evidence.”
