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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In our opinion, the [accomplices’] status and the other recited credibility factors had a direct bearing on the probability, plausibility or reliability of their testimony and an instruction in those terms was required. Stated another way, the court should have been advised that in determining whether the accomplice testimony was, among other things, probable, that is, “apparently credible,” (as provided in the Manual, supra) they were to consider the evidence bearing on the witnesses’ believability.”
