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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[t]he only effect of counsel's omission was that the jury was not told of the convictions twice.”
    2 later decisions quote this exact passage
    e.g. Carriger v. Lewis · Carriger v. Lewis
  2. ““The expert’s testimony along with the other testimony at trial constitutes probative circumstantial evidence that [appellant] was present when the victim was killed. Although the probative value of the evidence may have been weakened by the inability of the expert to testify that it was human blood, so was the possible prejudicial effect. A determination of the weight merited by such testimony was therefore properly left to the jury to make, in light of all the testimony before it.””
