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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he bill of information which included reference to defendant’s oath of office properly charged the offense of malfeasance in office. In addition we note the elementary fact that certain affirmatiye duties are inherent in the nature of the office. Certainly police officers have the duty, not break the law when performing the duties of their office. Our review of the evidence convinces us that it is sufficient to sustain the jury’s conclusion that defendant is guilty of malfeasance.”
