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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * Section 919.05 prescribes the manner by which the jury may receive additional instructions, and provides, among other things, `Such instruction may be given and such testimony read only after notice to the prosecuting attorney and to counsel for the defendant.' (Emphasis supplied.)"”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“No book should be consulted by a jury in arriving at a verdict and especially one that defines and treats everything expressed by the English language. No maker of dictionaries should ever be allowed to define legal terms to a jury unless such definitions go through the medium of the trial judge, the only one authorized by law to give definitions and explanations to a jury.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“This writer is of the opinion that the testimony of a witness given before a State Attorney (acting in his official capacity as State Attorney, vested by law with the power to compel the attendance of witnesses before him) falls in the same category with testimony taken before a committing magistrate * * *.”
