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.
““But the State says this was a denial of guilt and not a confession. It was a declaration which the State used to procure a conviction; and it is not for the.State to say the declaration did not prejudice the prisoner’s case. Why introduce it at all unless it was to lay a foundation for the prosecution ? The use which was made of the prisoner’s statement precluded the State from saying that it was not used to his prejudice.” (p. 150.).”
