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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[PROSECUTOR]: ... [D]on't you know that there are other witnesses. Don't you know that the people really saw what happened out there .... * * * * * * "... [W]hy don't people come forth, ladies and gentlemen? Why won't they get involved? Is it because they don't care? "[DEFENSE COUNSEL]: Your Honor, that's highly outside the record. "[PROSECUTOR]: Or is it because they are afraid? "THE COURT: Overruled. "[DEFENSE COUNSEL]: Note my exception. "[PROSECUTOR]: I submit to you that it's because they are afraid. They are afraid to become involved. They are afraid to put the finger on the man that nearly killed another man. If anybody has a right to be afraid of testifying it should be the man who almost lost his life. It should be the man who laid on his back for thirty days and pondered the situation out there. The man who says that when I come and testify in Court I'm fair game."”
