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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a prosecutor's role in our system of justice, when correctly perceived by a jury, has at least the potential for particular significance being attached by the jury to any expressions of the prosecutor's personal beliefs”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The comments which are the subject of either of those grounds, viewed alone, might be argued to have constituted insufficient grounds for requiring a mistrial... . Nonetheless, we believe the two contentions, taken together, require a reversal. Each involved improper statements to the jury which created improper prejudice to defendant... . However probable in light of the evidence it may have been that defendant would have been convicted had the prosecutor not made the foregoing statements to the jury, we cannot say that in this case acquittal was not reasonably within the realm of possibility.”
