The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“[Prosecutor]: ... Do you know that ... we’re prosecuting the Williamses for the [Ivey] killing? Is that going to affect the way you look at us here today? [Thomas]: It might. Because [Ivey] was a friend of mine. [Prosecutor]: Okay. So you’re saying that might affect you, but it would affect you in a positive way as it relates to us as opposed to a negative way? [Thomas]: Yes.”
