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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[2,3] Appellant’s contention on the second question is that the state attorney improperly in his closing argument referred to the appellant’s past criminal record. The argument of the state attorney does not appear in the record, except for what is shown in the motion for new trial, but such motion is not self proving. The court is unable therefore to review the question. Norris v. State, 150 Fla. 686 , 8 So.2d 493 ; Holloman v. State, 140 Fla. 59 , 191 So. 36 ; Hulst v. State, 123 Fla. 315 , 166 So. 828 .””
