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.
““The last assignment of error is that the County Attorney, in his argument to the jury, improperly commented on the fact that appellant failed to appear as his own witness, by the following statement: ‘You heard the testimony of the witness presented by the State and it has not been controverted except by counsel’s cross-examination.’ “This contention is wholly without merit. * * *” 71 Ariz. at 150 , 224 P.2d at 212”
