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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““Q. All right sir, will you relate to the jury please what the conversation was that you had with Mr. Metoyer ? A. I pointed out to Mr. Metoyer that he had been arrested in a particular automobile that fit the description of a car seen leaving the location of this robbery, that he himself fit the description of one of the people involved in the robbery, that the car in the robbery was purported as a stolen car— MR. EARL: To which we will object, Your Honor, and move for mistrial and ask the jury to be admonished not to consider, strongly ask for mistrial on that. BY THE COURT: Jurors, I’ll sustain the objection. I will overrule the last part. I will admonish the jury not to consider the last part of the answer.””

2. ““. . . It is settled law in Oklahoma that where no demurrer or motion to quash the information is filed, and a plea of' 'not guilty’ is entered and a trial is had, the defendant waives any defect in the information, except that the court has no jurisdiction of the subject matter and that no public offense has been committed. . . .” (Citation omitted)”
