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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The question arises in your minds at this point, ‘What is Involuntary Manslaughter ?’ “The legislature of our State has enacted a statute defining Involuntary Manslaughter, and reading as follows insofar as pertinent here: “ ‘Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being, without malice, in the perpetration of or an attempt to perpetrate any unlawful act, other than arson, rape, robbery, kidnapping, burglary, or mayhem; or in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death in an unlawful manner, or without due caution and circumspection; or in the operation of a motor vehicle in a reckless, careless or negligent manner which produces death * * ”■”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Simons v. State · State v. Scott“«* * *. Thirdly,—driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. “Now, as to that third portion of the charge the State called here three bartenders,—Joe Pollack, Ben Mc-Evers, and Eddie Rambo,—three men who are in the business of selling beer to the public; and I don’t think you are going to find these men going away out on a limb testifying against a railroad man or anyone else who has many friends who patronize their places of business. I think that should be taken into consideration in weighing their testimony. As you recall, each one of them said the defendant had only one drink in each of their places of business.””
