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.

“An alibi, as an item of evidence, stands separate from defendant’s bare denial that he committed the alleged offense. An alibi is additional substantive evidence, above and beyond the accused’s bare denial of guilt, relying for its weight on the credibility of other persons, or on circumstantial evidence, designed to establish that defendant could not have committed the offense in question.”
