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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“On appeal, the appellate court is required to examine the sealed records to determine whether they contain information that is favorable and material to an accused’s guilt or punishment. “Favorable” evidence includes evidence which tends to exculpate the accused, as well as any evidence adversely affecting the credibility of the government’s witnesses. Evidence is material only if there is a reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed to the defense, the result of the proceeding would have been different. A reasonable probability is a probability sufficient to undermine confidence in the outcome.”
