Most-quoted passages

    2 later decisions quote this exact passage
  2. “[Evidence of pertinent traits of character] are relevant and admissible if the traits support inferences that the defendant probably ... did not have the necessary mental state to make him guilty of the charged offense. Such evidence is also relevant and admissible if it supports any defense against the charged crime, including such affirmative defenses as coercion or self-defense.”
