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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant’s first exception is that his honor allowed Culpepper, a codefendant, to introduce witnesses to prove his (Brite’s) declarations while in jail, which tended to exonerate Culpepper.” “While these declarations are not evidence, either for or against Culpepper, being, as to him, res inter alios acta, and made by one not under oath, and subject to cross-examination, yet they are clearly admissible against Brite, and it makes no difference whether they were called forth by the State, or by Culpepper, without objection, or rather with the sanction of the State.””
