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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is also alleged that the record does not show affirmatively that the defendant was present when ilia verdict was rendered. It does show that he was pi’esent at the opening of the court, on the day the verdict was rendered. It never was decided by this court that the record must affirmatively show that the defendant is present at every hour of the day, or at every step of the proceeding on that day. It is sufficient that he was present when the court met, and his absence will not be presumed.””
