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.
“Appellant contends any relevance was substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.... TEX.R. EVID. 403.... The unfair prejudice ... lay in the possible appearance appellant was attempting to suborn perjury. As explained in the sufficiency complaint, even assuming Cox saw appellant, it does not follow that appellant committed the robbery.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Johnson v. State“... Rule 403's "use of the word `may' reflects the draftsman's intent `that the trial judge be given a very substantial discretion in "balancing" probative value on the one hand and "unfair prejudice" on the other, and that he should not be reversed simply because an appellate court believes that it would have decided the matter otherwise.'"”
