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 51 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is well established in this jurisdiction that evidence of other crimes which the defendant may have committed is prejudicial and usually inadmissible, (citations omitted) Such evidence is excluded in order to avoid the danger that the jury’s attention would be drawn away from the real issues of the trial and fasten its attention on other false issues, (citation omitted) Such evidence may also lead the jury to conclude that the defendant is a ‘bad man’ and convict him on that basis rather than on the basis of the evidence presented, (citation omitted)” State v. Tostado, 111 Ariz. 98, 100 , 523 P.2d 795, 797 (1974).”
