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

1. “«* * * In all cases where the juvenile is charged with the commission of a felony, the juvenile court shall act as a committing magistrate with the same jurisdiction as a justice of the peace sitting as a committing magistrate, and when it appears that a felony has been committed and that there is sufficient cause to believe the juvenile defendant guilty, to commit him to the district court of the county where the offense is committed, there to be prosecuted upon information or indictment as provided by law. * * *””

2. ““When one is accused of a felony he, for the purposes of trial and punishment, ceases to be a juvenile offender, and the juvenile court no longer has any jurisdiction over him or over the offense except to bind him over as a committing magistrate or dismiss him in case the evidence fails to establish the commission of any offense or probable cause to believe the accused guilty thereof.””
