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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The rule is well settled that a new trial will not be granted for newly discovered evidence unless it is so convincing as most likely to produce a different result, or, as the rule is sometimes expressed, ‘unless the evidence be of such decisive character as to render a different result reasonably certain.’ ” Reid v. Craig, 204 Ky. 151 , 263 S. W. 678 .”
