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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Even non-eyewitnesses may testify as to the identification of persons depicted or heard on a recording so long as it is clear the witness is in a better position than the jurors to make those determinations. See Johnson v. State, 93 So.3d 1066, 1069 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012) (holding no error in admission of detective’s identification of defendant as individual in surveillance video where defendant changed his appearance after the event recorded in the video, and the detective had a personal encounter with the defendant shortly after the event and before he changed his appearance); State v. Cordia, 564 So.2d 601, 601-02 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990) (finding that officers’ identification of defendant’s voice on a recording was admissible where officers had worked with defendant in the past and were familiar with his voice).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“(1) The witness cannot readily, and with equal accuracy and adequacy, communicate what [the witness] has perceived ... without testifying in terms of inferences or opinions and the witness’s use of inferences or opinions will not mislead the trier of fact to the prejudice of the adverse party; and (2) The opinions and inferences do not require a special knowledge, skill, experience or training.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[N]o record evidence exists which indicates that the detective was in a better position than the jurors to view the highly inconclusive and indiscernible surveillance video and enlarged stills and thereby determine the skin color and races of the perpetrators.”
