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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In considering whether the defendant and the person named in the judgment and sentence as shown by State’s Exhibit No. 4 are one and the same person, you may consider whether or not the names are identical, the commonness or unusu-alness of the name, the character of the former crime, the place of the commission of the former crime along with the surrounding facts and circumstances as you find them.””
