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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““That the cause of death was meningitis, in the absence of any other testimony on the subject, we assume; but that the meningitis causing death was the result of any blow suffered on March 15th or thereabouts is not supported by any competent evidence in the record. What ‘might have resulted’ or ‘could have resulted’ or a ‘possible result’ is quite too uncertain to support a verdict of conviction in a criminal case.” Id. at 321 , 24 O.O. at 88 , 43 N.E.2d at 638 .”
