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 111 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Reviewing courts consider alleged trial error under the harmless error standard when a defendant objects at trial and thereby preserves an issue for appeal. Harmless error review places the burden on the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the error did not contribute to or affect the verdict or sentence. Fundamental error review, in contrast, applies when a defendant fails to object to alleged trial error. The scope of review for fundamental error is limited. A defendant who fails to object at trial forfeits the right to obtain appellate relief except in those rare cases that involve error going to the foundation of the case, error that takes from the defendant a right essential to his defense, and error of such magnitude that the defendant could not possibly have received a fair trial. In addition, we place the burden of persuasion in fundamental error review on the defendant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Gomez“[Tjhe right does not extend to in-chambers pretrial conferences, ... to brief bench conferences with attorneys conducted outside the defendant’s hearing, and to various other conferences characterized as relating only to the resolution of questions of law. When reviewing a defendant’s absence from preliminary hearings, the court should examine the í’eeord as a whole and determine whether [the] accused suffered any damage by reason of his absence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Morehart v. Barton““[p]remeditation” means that a person acts with either the intention or the knowledge that he will kill another human being, when such intention or knowledge precedes the killing by a length of time to permit reflection. Proof of actual reflection is not required, but an act is not done with premeditation if it is the instant effect of a sudden quarrel or heat of passion.”
