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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘No objection being interposed to the testimony of the officer as to what a by-stander said it may properly be considered and given its natural probative effect as if it were in law admissible. Barlow v. Verrill, 88 N.H. 25 , 183 A. 857 , 104 A.L.R. [1126] 1130. Long ago this Court observed in Baxter v. State, 83 Tenn. 657 , that parties “May admit illegal evidence if they don’t choose to object, if they do not want to admit it, they should object as soon as it is offered.’”
