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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““We do not mean to say that such remarks of counsel are not within the power of the court to cure, either by prompt rebuke, or by instructing the jury to disregard them, or, better, by both methods. In most cases, no doubt, it can be done. The difficulty here is that the remarks of counsel passed without rebuke or dissent from the court, notwithstanding the objection of the defendant’s counsel, and thus apparently received the sanction of the court, instead of its severe condemnation.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““If there is a man who sits in those chairs that is willing to brand himself with suspicion by saying that Archie Mull did not commit this crime, my judgment of his character is not at all correct. * * * It is no wonder that your neighbors have concluded that the integrity and decency of this panel of jurors, instead of Archie Mull, is on trial here today.””
