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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The officer] testified he obtained several latent fingerprints at the Kemersville residence crime scene and compared them to fingerprints contained in a computer system database known as “AFIS” or “Automated Fingerprint Identification System.” [The officer] stated [that] AFIS consists “of a known database of fingerprints of criminal arrest cards of people [who’ve] been arrested in the state.” Using the database, [the officer] received a reference to defendant. [The officer] then compared one of the latent fingerprints he obtained at the crime scene to the actual fingerprint card containing defendant’s fingerprints. [The officer] testified that such fingerprint cards were kept in the normal course of business in the police record files. According to [the officer], the fingerprint obtained from the door of the Kernersville residence matched the fingerprint card containing defendant’s fingerprints.”
