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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The following occurred at the hearing on the motion for new trial: [Plaintiffs Counsel]: Madam, you did not tell anyone [on voir dire ] about your husband’s injuries, did you? Juror Mace: No, I didn’t see no reason why I should. [Plaintiffs Counsel]: And the reason why you didn’t think you should is because you didn’t think it was anybody else’s business; isn’t that right? Juror Mace: Why should I discuss it? It wasn’t asked of me. Nobody asked me if my husband had been hurt.”
