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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I know it is possible for honest men and women to have honest different opinions about the facts of a case, but, if it is possible to reconcile your differences of opinion and decide this case, then you should do so. Accordingly, I remind you that the court originally instructed you that the verdict of the jury must represent the considered judgment of each juror. It is your duty as jurors to consult with one another and to deliberate in view of reaching agreement if you can do so without violence to your individual judgment. Each of you must decide the case for yourself, but only after an impartial consideration of the evidence with your fellow jurors. In the course of your deliberations, do not hesitate to reexamine your own views and change your opinion if you are convinced it is erroneous, but do not surrender your honest convictions as to the effect of the evidence solely because of the opinion of your fellow jurors or for the mere purpose of returning a verdict. Please continue your deliberations.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In the meantime, I’m going to ask you to seriously listen to and consider the views of all the other 11 jurors.... I think it’s going to take some considerable time for you to maturely and soberly review the testimony of each witness, the significance and impact of that testimony, its weight and credibility with you. And the same mental processes must be applied to each exhibit offered and received into evidence, its significance and impact on your mind on this case. So I’m going to ask you to continue your deliberations, to listen to each others views, consider all the testimony and the exhibits, and see if you can reach a unanimous agreement. As I said yesterday, all the persons involved in presenting the case to you have worked a long, long time to get this case ready to present to a jury and so I’m going to ask for some more of your time in considering the matter and see whether you can reach a unanimous agreement.”
