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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule is well established in this state that the admissibility of evidence given in the nature of an experiment lies within the sound discretion of the trial, court so long as substantially the same conditions obtain in the experiment as existed in the original act.
