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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“I cannot believe that it would be in the best interests of the children to subject them to this contested hearing and cross-examination and put them squarely in the middle between [the respondent] and their father. I think that I would not be serving their best interests.... I'm going to allow the children's statements to be for the truth of the matter asserted under the residual exception to the hearsay rule, that there is a reasonable necessity for the admission of their statement.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“To the extent a trial court's admission of evidence is based on an interpretation of the Code of Evidence, [the] standard of [appellate] review is plenary.... [On the other hand, an appellate court] review[s] the trial court's decision to admit evidence, if premised on a correct view of the law ... for an abuse of discretion.”
