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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellants further argue that it was error to admit the returns into evidence because, according to appellants, the jury may have inferred tax evasion due to the fact that the income reported on their returns was at odds with the evidence of their gambling winnings in 1966 .... Brid-well and Pauldino’s returns were admitted solely to show that on appellants’ respective 1966 returns each claimed that his occupation was gambling. Income reported on their returns was not referred to at trial, and in fact the reported incomes on the exhibits were not insubstantial so as to immediately suggest tax evasion.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“Representative of the evidence establishing this were appellants’ respective tax returns for 1966 which acknowledged gambling as each’s occupation. In addition, there was a wealth of undisputed testimony concerning appellants’ gambling forays across the country, even extending into Canada. Suffice it to say that it was well established that appellants’ trip to Nebraska was not an isolated gambling incident but was just one more roll of the dice in their continuing effort to fleece the lambs of the land.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[W]e do not believe that the government's proof of some but perhaps not all of the prohibited modes of violating the statute constitutes a fatal defect in appellants' conviction. It is settled that where a crime denounced disjunctively in the statute is charged in the conjunctive, proof of any one of the allegation will sustain a conviction.”
