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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An inconsistent verdict among several charges does not require a reversal provided there is sufficient evidence to support the jury's finding of guilt [on each count considered independently] ... Juries frequently convict on some counts and acquit on others not because they are unconvinced of guilt but simply because of compassion and compromise.”
