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 50 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the supreme court has taken the position that plain error applies only to errors in evidentiary rulings of the trial court. See [State v.J Isiah, 109 N.M. [21] at 23, 781 P.2d [293] at 295 n. 1 [ (1989) ], see also State v. Wall, 94 N.M. 169, 171 , 608 P.2d 145, 147 (1980). We are concerned with this interpretation of the plain error rule because we believe that the very point of the rule is to permit review of grave errors in the admission of evidence which have not been the subject of a ruling by the trial court because no objection was made at trial.”
