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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘Essential facts’ means the elements of the offense and an information which does not allege the essential elements of the crime charged is void.... Essential elements of the crime charged which are missing from the information cannot be supplied by intendment or implication.... The purpose of an indictment or information is to inform the defendant of the charge against him so that he may prepare an adequate defense and plead former jeopardy if he be acquitted. It also has the purpose of permitting the trial court to determine whether sufficient facts are averred to support a conviction.”
