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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order for you to go into that jury room and come back with a not guilty verdict, you know what you’ve go to do? You’ve got to go back in there and you’ve got to decide that George Ellis, that Johnny Nealy, that Mike Williams, that Mark Wilcher, every one of them, is a liar. That every one of them is so vicious and vile that they would come to court and try to make up a story like this and send an innocent man to the penitentiary.”
