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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “Our Supreme Court had held the final measure of error in a criminal case is not whether a defendant was afforded a perfect trial, but whether he was afforded a fair trial. State v. Schrager, 74 Wn.2d 75, 81 , 442 P.2d 1004 (1968). One of the criteria of a fair trial is whether irrelevant and inflammatory matter has been introduced which would have a natural tendency to prejudice the jury against the accused. If so, it is not a fair trial. State v. Green, 71 Wn.2d 372 , 428 P.2d 540 (1967); State v. Miles, 73 Wn.2d 67 , 436 P.2d 198 (1968).”
