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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The reference to non-existent testimony, the innuendos arising from the defendant's not calling witnesses, which were readily available to the state, and the beliefs of the assistant district attorney, again not supported by the evidence, were such that they could not be removed, in our judgment, from the minds of the jurors by the judge's admonishments. As is evident this case presents a close question as to the guilt of Collins. ( 408 So.2d at 1380 )”
