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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “"[i]f it does not appear that the death of the person charged to have been killed happened within a year and a day after the wound was given[,] the indictment will be deemed fatally defective, since when death does not ensue within such time the law presumes that it proceeded from some other cause." 13 R. C. L. 903, § 208. [Emphasis supplied.]”
