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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The references now characterized as comments on appellant’s failure to testify are general statements that the defense had not contradicted Simmons’ testimony and had not presented any evidence of appellant’s innocence. It would call for a strained conclusion to find an indirect reference to appellant’s failure to testify.”
