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 94 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]e consider the cumulative impact of the three items of misconduct. An accumulation of irregularities, each of which, in itself, might be deemed harmless may, in the aggregate, show the absence of a fair trial. “A fair trial is implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.” (citation omitted). An appellate court has the responsibility “to see that a person convicted of crime shall have a fair trial with a proper defense, and that no conviction shall stand because of the absence of either.” (citation omitted).”
