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 53 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellants now criticize the defense ‘adopted’ from hindsight. If any defense was to be ‘adopted,’ it might well have been that ‘the best defense’ for the original four defendants ‘to adopt’ was to keep them all under the shepherd’s crook of one attorney. Their attorney, David C. Marcus, Esq., is a well known and busy criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles, with at least twenty-five years’ experience. By no means could his defense of these defendants have been described as a farce, or a sham. That he used an unsuccessful defense does not prove that it was not the best, nor that it was inadequate. ‘[B]ecause one counsel suggests after the fact, that he thinks the case should or could have been defended in a different manner, does not make the trial “a farce and a mockery of justice”.’ United States v. Callison, 408 F.2d 1862 (9th Cir., 1969).” Id., at 599-600.”
