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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Court charges the jury that the fact that the Defendant did not testify in this case cannot be considered in determining the Defendant’s guilt or innocence. No inference or conclusion should be drawn by the jury from the fact that the De fendant was not sworn and put on the witness stand as a witness in his own behalf, nor should this fact have any weight with the jury in reaching a verdict.””
