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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The proper practice seems to be, that where two or more defendants are jointly indicted, neither is a witness for or against the others, unless some order is made in the case, which amounts to an acquittal or a severance. The trial of the one proposed to be offered as a witness must be severed from that of the co-defendant against whom he is offered; or else a nolle-prosequi must be taken, or a verdict of acquittal entered in favor of the proposed witness, as authorized by statute.” (Citations omitted.)”
