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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Ojne is no longer a witness when the proceeding in which he has testified is no longer pending. . . ‘[T]he protection of the law, under [section 1503], is coincident and continuous with the power of the court over the witness, to compel him to attend and give evidence in some pending case. . . . ’ We hold that one who is called as a trial witness retains that character throughout the duration of the trial.”
