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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Our rule is that a juror is not disqualified in a criminal case where he has a `fixed' opinion which is based upon hearsay testimony, newspaper reports, or mere rumor, even though it would take evidence to remove such opinion, where he states on his voir dire that he can and will, if selected, go into the jury box and disregard such opinion, and that he has no bias or prejudice for or against the accused. Jackson v. State, 103 Ark. 21 , 145 S. W. 559 ; Corley v. State, 162 Ark. 178 , 257 S.W. 750 ; Tisdale v. State, 120 Ark. 470 , 179 S.W. 650 ; Scruggs v. State, 131 Ark. 320 , 198 S.W. 694 ; Crawford v. State, 132 Ark. 518 , 201 S.W. 784 ; Mallory v. State, 141 Ark. 496 , 217 S.W. 482 ; Sneed v. State, 143 Ark. 178 , 219 S.W. 1019 ; Borland v. State, 158 Ark. 37 , 249 S.W. 591 ; Maroney v. State, 177 Ark. 355 , 6 S.W. 2d 299 . The above cases also hold that the qualifications of a juror rest very largely in the sound discretion of the trial court."”
