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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a]n objection to previously introduced testimony is not waived by “the mere cross-examination of a witness or the introduction of rebuttal evidence, either or both.” A waiver does not result until the party objecting to the introduction of evidence actually introduces, on his own behalf, evidence that is similar to that to which the objection applies.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Using or permitting the use of leading questions, those which suggest a desired answer, in the voir dire of a prospective juror may taint the reliability of the juror's responses. Merely giving `expected answers to leading questions' does not rehabilitate a prospective juror.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Determination of a prospective juror’s impartiality differs from the usual factual finding. It is not the determination of a past fact; instead, it is a determination of [the prospective juror’s] present state of mind, a prediction of future behavior. For this reason, the method of the voir dire examination may affect the trial court’s ability to determine a prospective juror’s impartiality.”
