Most-quoted passages

“Nobody knows how much we have suffered over this trouble. Lord have mercy on us.”
33 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Floyd v. State · Taylor v. State“"`Although we have reviewed "worse" crimes of robbery-murder, the apparent cold-blooded, senseless, and unmerciful manner in which the defendant executed this crime impresses this Court as it did the trial judge. Other than the general arguments for not imposing a punishment of death in any case, we find no reason to spare the defendant's life."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“`Tardy disclosure of Brady material is generally not reversible error unless the defendant can show that he was denied a fair trial.' ... A delay in disclosing Brady material requires reversal only if the `lateness of the disclosure so prejudiced appellant's preparation or presentation of his defense that he was prevented from receiving his constitutionally guaranteed fair trial.'”
