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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * as we read Williams, the essential characteristics of evidentiary admissibility have not been materially altered. Evidence of other offenses which was admissible before Williams has been generally held admissible since Williams, and will undoubtedly continue so to be held in the future; and vice versa as to inadmissibility. We analyze Williams to mean that evidence of other offenses is admissible if it is relevant and has probative value in proof of the instant case or some material fact or facts in issue in the instant case; and its sole purpose is not to show the bad character of the accused; and its sole purpose is not to show the propensity of the accused to commit the instant crime charged; and its admission is not precluded by some other specific exception or rule of exclusion."”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“[t]he argument for inadmissibility is, in fact, more cogent.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ * * * with reference to the robbery of a Seven-Eleven Food Store, not otherwise identified as being the store or the robbery involved in the case on trial, [which] was not relevant to prove any fact or facts in issue before the jury, and its sole purpose and effect could only have been to show the bad character of the defendant when he had not put his character into evidence, and his propensity for committing the robbery in question.””
