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

1. ““The defendant also claims error in permitting Mayor Houk to testify to submitting to a lie detector (polygraph) test. The record shows that Dr. Stephen Sheppard at one point in the investigation, indicated that Mayor Houk was in some way involved. After this was brought out the Mayor was asked, ‘Did you, Mr. Houk, submit to a lie detector test?’ To which he answered over defendant’s objection, ‘Yes.’ The results of the test were not inquired about, and the simple fact that a test was made by agreement of the witness under the circumstances could not prejudice the defendant’s case.” Ohio v. Sheppard, 100 Ohio App. 345, 388 , 128 N.E.2d 471, 498 (1955).”

2. ““The right of a juror to ask questions of a witness during trial is clearly within the sound discretion of the trial court. Utah v. Anderson, 108 Utah 130 , 158 P. 2d 127 , 159 A.L.R. 340 . The practice is not encouraged because: ‘Generally jurors aré not familiar with the rules governing the admission, of evidence, and in the very nature of such a situation counsel .quite naturally will hesitate to object to á question propounded by a juror, even though it may be incompetent and this practice is so dangerous to the rights of the litigant that we cannot encourage the practice.’ White v. Little, 131 Okl. 132 , 268 P. 221, 222 .””
