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 75 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““(1) [whether] the statement was incriminating or accusatory; “(2) that it was one to which an innocent person in the situation of the defendant would reply; “(3) that it was made within the presence and hearing of the defendant; “(4) that he understood the meaning of the statement; and “(5) that he had an opportunity to deny or reply to the statement.” Id. at 84 , 308 A.2d at 338.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Gomez · State v. Dame““No basis is established in the record that the size of the courtroom in any way deprived defendant of a fair trial. The trial justice pointed to factors which militated against a change of courtroom and in the sound exercise of his discretion denied this motion. “While it is suggested that the public would be excluded from the trial, nothing in the record establishes that the public actually was excluded. * * * On the basis of the record and the briefs presented, we are unable to conclude that defendant was prejudiced in any way by the size of the courtroom.” Id.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Barkmeyer““Where a statement is made within the presence and hearing of an accused which is incriminatory or accusatory in character and such statement is not denied by him, the statement and the fact of his failure to deny are admissible as an admission of the statement’s truth.” State v. Lerner, 112 R.I. 62, 83-84 , 308 A.2d 324, 338 (1973) (citing State v. Reitsma, 68 R.I. 310, 316 , 27 A.2d 312, 315 (1942)).”
