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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The question of whether a prospective juror is biased and should be dismissed from the jury panel for cause is a matter of the circuit court's discretion.”
7 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]here a prospective juror is related to a state witness by blood or marriage to the third degree, special problems exist that render a circuit court's search for actual bias an inadequate protection of a defendant's right to an impartial jury. One such problem is the potential for unconscious bias. It is virtually impossible for a prospective juror to consciously estimate how the family relationship with a witness will affect his or her judgment. Although no intentional actual bias may exist, the risk of unconscious bias in these situations is manifest.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[Prospective jurors who are related to a state witness by blood or marriage to the third degree as shown in Figure 852.03(2), Stats., 3 must be struck from the jury panel on the basis of implied bias.”
