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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is elementary, of course, that a trial court may not ignore the fundamental character of the defendant’s right to offer the testimony of witnesses in his favor. But the mere invocation of that right cannot automatically and invariably outweigh countervailing public interests. The integrity of the adversary process, which depends both on the presentation of reliable evidence and the rejection of unreliable evidence, the interest in the fair and efficient administration of justice, and the potential for prejudice to the truth-determining function of the trial process must also weigh in the balance.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Killean“[t]he trial court could have granted a brief continuance so the state could prepare for cross-examination of [the defense expert] and, if necessary, continue the trial .... Although there would have been some prejudice to the state in permitting the witness to testify, we do not think that prejudice to the state outweighs defendant’s sixth amendment right to present a defense. This is particularly true in this case since defendant had the burden of proving insanity by clear and convincing evidence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]he court may impose any sanction which it finds just under the circumstances, including, but not limited to: (1) Ordering disclosure of the information not previously disclosed. (2) Granting a continuance. (3) Holding a witness, party, or counsel in contempt. (4) Precluding a party from calling a witness, offering evidence, or raising a defense not disclosed; and (5) Declaring a mistrial when necessary to prevent a miscarriage of justice.”
