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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The Government must have a demonstrable need to introduce the photographs; (2) The photographs themselves, if shown to the jury, must not imply that the defendant has a prior criminal record; and (3) The manner of introduction at trial must be such that it does not draw particular attention to the source or implications of the photographs.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“the presumption of innocence, the Commonwealth's burden of proof, and the jury's function in determining the credibility of the witnesses.”
