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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The latitude permitted in jury argument is controlled by the judge’s discretion. . . . Ordinarily [the judge’s] discretion is not reviewable “unless the impropriety of counsel’s remarks is extreme and is clearly calculated to prejudice the jury in its deliberations. ...” A new trial is awarded only in cases of extreme abuse in the argument.”
