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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“THE COURT: Well, I can’t understand why you’d want to prosecute somebody if she’s telling this Court now that— MR. WORLEY: Your Honor, because I don’t believe her. THE COURT: —it didn’t happen. Well, it’s your duty to see that justice is done and justice in a case where she tells two different stories is to let him go because there would be a reasonable doubt. MR. WORLEY: No, sir, not — I disagree, Your Honor— THE COURT: Your motion is granted on entrapment. Don’t bring me any more cases like that. MR. WORLEY: Your Honor, we still have a case. [End of Proceedings.]”
