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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In reviewing a jury award ... “[i]f the jury’s verdict can be explained with reference to the evidence, rather than by juror passion, prejudice or mistake of law, the verdict should be affirmed.” Thus, “if a verdict is susceptive to more than one construction, the construction which sustains the verdict must be applied.” Neither the trial court nor this [C]ourt may set aside a verdict unless it is clearly “unreasonable, arbitrary and unsupported by the evidence.””
