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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Bembury's only defense was his alibi, that he did not commit the murder.... Bembury's failure to argue the issue of malice amounted to a concession of that issue, because, as in Hill, `intent was never put in issue, and indeed, could hardly have been contested.'”
