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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The witness Cox was asked: What occurred when you made the arrest?’ He replied, speaking of appellant, ‘He drew his gun and hit me on the head and we had quite a scuffle.’ The objection was that ‘the question was prejudicial.’ The court qualifies this by stating ‘that the evidence was offered and admitted to show that defendant resisted arrest in this case.’ This testimony was legitimate. Where a party is arrested or sought to be arrested for an offense, and he resists the arrest, it is a legitimate fact to be proved.””
