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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]he State did not seek to convict upon the evidence of the accomplice alone, but adduced other evidence, almost, if not wholly, sufficient to warrant the verdict, independently of the evidence of the accomplice. This being so, the rule of corroboration laid down by the code does not apply in its letter, and unless the attention of the court had been called to the accomplice element in the evidence, ... we think the conviction was not vitiated by the omission to charge on that subject.”
