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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence which you are to consider consists of testimony of witnesses and exhibits. You must decide the accuracy of each witness’ testimony. Take into account such things as the witness’ ability and opportunity to observe, the witness’ memory and manner while testifying, any motive or prejudice the witness might have, and any inconsistent statements of the witness before or during the trial. Consider each witness’ testimony in light of all the evidence in the case.””
