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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We have twice had recent occasion to review the admissibility of testimony as to prior offenses. Exclusion is the rule, and admission the exception. Without again reviewing the several exceptions, we note that none are here applicable, and that we are confronted again with prosecutorial “over-kill.” The offenses here . . . show only a general tendency to commit offenses like the one charged. Not involving moral turpitude, they were not under 12 V.S.A. § 1608 admissible to affect credibility, even had they been offered for that purpose and proved by records of conviction.”
