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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ ‘ To justify the granting of a new trial for newly discovered evidence, it should affirmatively appear from the affidavit that the accused used reasonable diligence to obtain the evidence at the time of the trial; and to this end it is not sufficient merely to allege that such diligence was exercised, but the accused should go further and allege facts from which the court may determine whether such dilgence was exercised. Mullins v. Commonwealth, 185 Ky. 326 , 215 S. W. 56 ; Bell v. Commonwealth, 202 Ky. 163 , 259 S. W. 29 .””
