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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A trial court must carefully refrain from unduly restricting the arguments of counsel. Counsel should not only be allowed wide range in organizing the facts for the jury in a pattern most favorable to his client, he must also be permitted to argue from the facts those reasonable inferences which most strongly favor his client. It is error not to permit counsel this latitude in his closing argument.”
