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 32 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence of the witness James Hob-lit shows that he was an accomplice of the defendant in the commission of the crime charged against the Defendant. You are instructed that the testimony of an accomplice should be received by you with great caution and you ought not to convict the Defendant of the crime charged upon the testimony of an accomplice alone, unless it is corroborated by other credible evidence tending to show that the Defendant is guilty of the crime charged in the Information.””
