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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ . . . Defendant cites several cases in support of this contention of error, but all of them have to do with the State trying to [elicit] details of the crime with which defendant was formerly convicted. Such as: ‘Didn’t that conviction arise out of your beating a woman with a chain’. In the instant case we fail to see where defendant was prejudiced by said cross-examination, and think it was within the rules of evidence.””
