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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The comments by the solicitor were, in our opinion, not prejudicial to appellant. The statements were not a comment upon appellant's failure to testify, for at this point in the trial the solicitor could not have known whether appellant was to testify or not. It is evident from the context of the argument at that time that the solicitor was arguing the admissibility of evidence which he thought was hearsay. The objection which he raised was on the basis that the witness could not say what he heard from appellant, and that only the one who spoke could actually say what transpired.”
