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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““But in this State, where a judge has directed a verdict of guilty, and the jury have followed such direction, and the facts are admitted or undisputed, and the only question is one of law, applied to such facts, a new trial will not be granted, if the judge was right in his application of the law. No injustice can be done the accused in such case, as it is not to be presumed that a .jury will find in opposition to the law from mere whim, caprice or prejudice, although they may have the right to do so.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. People v. Elmer · People v. Chyc““The trial judge may, with perfect propriety, state to the jury that the law applied to the facts, which are undisputed, shows the defendant to be guilty of the offense charged, and that it is their duty to so find under the facts and the law. But it has been repeatedly held that he cannot in so many, words direct them that they must bring in a verdict of guilty; and that they are at liberty to find otherwise, if they see fit, under the Federal Constitution, which guarantees to every accused person— “ ‘The right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed.’ “And verdicts have often been set aside when directed by courts in opposition to this right. See United States v. Taylor, 11 Fed. 470 , and cases there cited.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. People v. Lathers““If the liquor, belonging to the person and under his control, is, by his consent or connivance, permitted to be taken and drank by the minor, whether it is passed to him direct or through the hands of another is immaterial; the liquor in either case is furnished to such minor, within the meaning of our statute.””
