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 185 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This Court will not go behind the actions of the grand jury to determine whether sufficient evidence existed to justify the return of an indictment. Were we to accept appellant’s claim that evidence was presented to the grand jury by the district attorney alone, such would not constitute reversible error. An indictment returned by a legally constituted and unbiased grand jury, if valid on its face, is enough to call for trial of the charge on the merits.”
