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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The purported affidavit of Mr. King is simply and solely to the effect that: `To the best of his knowledge, information, and belief,' said jury, or some members thereof, `commented upon the failure of the defendant to testify in his own behalf, and upon his failure to place character witnesses upon the stand in his own behalf, and considered such failure to testify, and failure to place such witnesses on the stand, in arriving at their verdict in this case.' In our opinion this amounts to no affidavit at all. The bill clearly shows that Mr. King had no knowledge whatever about the supposed misconduct of the jury; that he did not give what his claimed information was, nor did he give who his informant was. Mr. Pillow, one of the appellant's attorneys, who claimed to have talked to one of the jurors, made no affidavit whatever. Neither did their client, the appellant, make any affidavit.”
