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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[t]he use of uncharged bad acts to convict a defendant is heavily disfavored in our system of criminal justice. Such evidence is likely to be prejudicial or irrelevant, and forces the accused to defend himself against vague and unsubstantiated charges.... Evidence of uncharged misconduct may unduly influence the jury, and result in a conviction of the accused because the jury believes he is a bad person.... The use of specific conduct to show a propensity to commit the crime charged is clearly prohibited by Nevada law, ... and is commonly regarded as sufficient grounds for reversal."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Roever v. State“"`[b]efore an issue can be said to be raised, which would permit the introduction of such evidence so obviously prejudicial to the accused, it must have been raised in substance if not in so many words, and the issue so raised must be one to which the prejudicial evidence is relevant.... The prosecution cannot credit the accused with fancy defences in order to rebut them at the outset with some damning piece of prejudice.'" McCormick on Evidence § 190 at 452 n. 54 (Edward W. Cleary, 2d ed.1972) (quoting Lord Sumner in Thompson v. The King, App.Cas. 221, 232 (1918)).”
