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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““I thought that with two of them talking here, that maybe one of them would say their client was innocent, but I never heard that, and it seems to me that if I were trying the wrong man, or if I were called upon to defend somebody and had the wrong man or had someone who didn’t commit the crime, you would stand up before twelve jurors and say, this man is innocent.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““He makes the insinuation that this Defendant has told him that he wasn’t guilty, but he won’t take the stand under oath and tell you that.””
