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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We note that Zinn did not object to the introduction of this testimony when Scartaccini testified as to Pierce's statement.... It would have been of little effect for the trial court to have sustained Zinn's objection to Sliger's testimony, even assuming there had been grounds for doing so, because the statement objected to had already been planted--properly--in the jurors' minds.”
