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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * in a criminal action or proceeding for a crime committed by the husband against the wife or by the wife against the husband, nor in a criminal action or proceeding against the husband for abandonment, failure to support or provide for or failure or neglect to furnish the necessities of life to the wife or the minor children. * * * ” A.R.S. § 13-1802.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“testimony in all cases in which the crime committed [s]o closely touches or affects the other spouse as to render the reason for the rule-promotion of marital peace and apprehension of marital dissension-inapplicable.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The testimony clearly shows that the reasons for not permitting a wife to testify against her husband are not present in the instant case because it had already been agreed that the marital relationship would be terminated. Brenda and her daughter were living with her parents and defendant had agreed to a divorce. Her father and brother had gone to assist in getting Brenda’s things to take them home. They were helping her in getting her belongings at the time of the shooting. So, we are confronted with the question whether the killing of the wife’s father and brother under these circumstances was a crime committed by the husband against the wife. We feel there is no distinction between the principle of law involved in this case and that enunciated in O’Loughlin v. People, supra, 90 Colo. 368 , 10 P.2d 543 , 82 A.L.R. 622 , and in Chamberlain v. State, supra, Wyo., 348 P.2d 280 , holding that a crime committed against the spouse’s child was a crime committed against the other spouse. “We therefore hold that the testimony of Brenda was admissible against her husband in the murder charges, * * State v. Crow, 104 Ariz. 579, 586 , 457 P. 2d 256, 263 (1969).”
