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.
“We begin by noting there is a subtle difference between evidence that is 'corroborative' and evidence that is 'cumulative.' In the most general sense, corroborative evidence is '[e]vidence that differs from but strengthens or confirms what other evidence shows,' while cumulative evidence is '[a]dditional evidence that supports a fact established by the existing evidence.' Black's Law Dictionary. 674, 675 (10th ed. 2014).”
