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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  2. ““the trial court has broad discretion in determining the qualifications of expert witnesses and in admitting expert testimony.” We find no abuse of discretion by the trial court in allowing this testimony. [The criminalist] did establish expert qualifications in serology. Her expertise in serology would include a knowledge of blood types and their general distribution throughout the population. We affirm.”
