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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“After the cause is submitted to the jury, it may be discharged when it cannot agree and both parties consent to its discharge; or the court may in its discretion discharge it where it has been kept together for such time as to render it altogether improbable that it can agree.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Woodson v. State · Nelson v. State“"Let me ask the entire panel, how many of you think you might reach a verdict if you deliberated longer? Do any of you think you might?" [Jury panel responds in the negative.] "If there are any of you who think you might reach a verdict if you deliberated longer, would you raise your hand? Let the record show there are no hands." * * * * * * "... let me ask the question that I asked previously, but another way. How many of you think you will not reach a verdict if you deliberate longer, would you raise your hands? How many of you think you will not reach a verdict if you stay longer. Okay. Let the record show there is [sic] eleven hands up. All right. I will declare a mistrial, and discharge the Jury."”
