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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““After the defense rested, the State was allowed to call Mrs. Firo as a rebuttal, witness ... No new evidence tending to incriminate appellant was adduced ... Considering the record as a whole, and particularly in light of the unexpected circumstances surrounding the recovery of the murder weapon, we conclude that even if the questioning did exceed the scope of direct examination, the error, if any, was not so harmful as to require reversal.””
