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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In his argument to the jury, the solicitor referred to the defendant as a bootlegger. The defendant moved the court to direct the solicitor to refrain from referring to the defendant as a bootlegger, which the court refused to do. * * * The inference drawn by the solicitor that the defendant was a bootlegger was properly sustained by the evidence, and the court did not err in not expressing his disapproval of the argument of the solicitor in referring to the accused as a bootlegger.””
