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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“. . . there must at the very least be some pleading charging the defendant with a crime or offense. “The requirement that an indictment and an information must state the crime with which, a defendant is charged, and the particular acts constituting that crime is more than a technicality; it is a fundamental, a basic principle of justice and fair dealing, as well as a rule of law” (citation omitted). This requirement is not met by an information which does not state the name of the person charged. To be sufficient, an information must be directed against some person. (Citation omitted; emphasis in original.)”
