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 195 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A declaration of a mistrial is the most dramatic remedy for trial error and should be granted only when it appears that justice will [otherwise] be thwarted.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Lamb · State v. Dansdill“There is ... a general requirement imposed on declarations coming in under all exceptions to the hearsay rule that the declarant, like witnesses, must have had an opportunity to observe or personal knowledge of the fact declared. State v. Mincey, 130 Ariz. 389 , 636 P.2d 637 (1981); State v. Dixon, 107 Ariz. 415 , 489 P.2d 225 (1971); Ariz.R.Evid. 602.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Land · State v. Jacob“Evidence supporting a finding of probable cause need not meet the standard for admissibility at trial. Spinelli v. United States, supra; State v. Berge, 130 Ariz. 135 , 634 P.2d 947 (1981); cf. Aguilar v. Texas, 378 U.S. 108 , 84 S. Ct. 1509 , 12 L. Ed. 2d 723 (1964) (affidavit for search warrant may be based on hearsay information). Thus, even if it were true that Adamson's son was not competent to testify at trial, we believe that the statements made while pointing at the pictures were properly considered together with other information when deciding if probable cause had been established.”
