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 213 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]hat a judge learns in his judicial capacity -- whether by way of guilty pleas of codefendants or alleged coconspirators, or by way of pretrial proceedings, or both -- is a proper basis for judicial observations, and the use of such information is not the kind of matter that results in disqualification.”
9 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““If ... the [predicate] acts could properly be considered part of a ‘pattern of racketeering activity,’ we see no reason why they could not similarly constitute part of a ‘series of acts or transactions constituting an offense’ within the meaning of Rule 8(b). Indeed, a construction of Rule 8(b) that required a closer relationship between transactions than that necessary to establish a ‘pattern of racketeering activity’ under RICO might possibly prohibit joinder in circumstances where Congress clearly envisioned a single trial.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“a person cannot be found guilty of aiding and abetting unless the principal whom he has aided and abetted committed the criminal act.”
