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 64 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A police report may be admitted as a business entry . . . [though this] does not require that everything contained in the report be admitted into evidence. . . . For an item contained in a report to be admissible, it must be based on the entrant's own observation or on information of others whose business duty it was to transmit it to the entrant. . . . Moreover, a police officer's conclusion about the cause of or responsibility for an injury is merely an opinion which the police officer would not be permitted to give if [the officer] was on the witness stand. . . . There is all the more reason for excluding such an opinion when the officer is not under oath and subject to cross-examination.”
