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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“close association with not only the law enforcement establishment, but also with this crime scene, and with the co-employee who had attended to this murder victim.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If you believe that the defendants voluntarily failed to appear in this matter after the commencement of the trial, such failure would be a circumstance, not sufficient in itself to establish the guilt of the defendants, but a circumstance which could indicate a guilty conscience, and which you may consider in connection with all the other facts and circumstances proven at trial, in determining the question of the guilt or innocence of one or both of the defendants. It is for you to determine from the evidence whether such failure to appear was caused by a guilty conscience or by some other and innocent motive.”
