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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . [I]f the judge takes judicial notice, or a witness expert in the subject testifies, that the treatise ... is a reliable authority in the subject.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““Mere publication does not ipso facto render a work admissible as independent substantive evidence. Such a work becomes admissible when a proper foundation has been laid — establishment of its reliability either by means of judicial notice being taken or the attestation of an expert witness. . . . We hold the determination of reliability requisite to admission into evidence of learned treatises rests in the sound discretion of the trial court.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. State v. McDonald““Exclusion of jurors opposed to capital punishment will not be presumed, nor was it shown by evidence adduced at postconviction hearing, to result in an unrepresentative jury on the issue of guilt or to increase the risk of conviction, in violation of constitutional standards.” (Syl. ¶ 1.)”
