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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As to the two 'lottery’ tickets found by the officers in the pocket of the apron which the defendant was wearing while ironing clothes, the evidence did not exclude every reasonable hypothesis save that of the guilt of the accused. Conceding that they were lottery tickets, their possession was thoroughly consistent with the innocence of the accused. The tickets, according to their indicia, were such as might have represented her own purchases, or purchases to be made.” The state’s allegations that a conspiracy existed adds nothing.”
