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 78 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The trial court determined that Terranova had been “markedly evasive” in his testimony at the hearing. The trial court also found that the prosecution had demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that Terranova had been threatened by [the accused] or someone acting on [the accused’s] behalf, and that if required to testify, he would do so falsely. As a result, the trial court found Terranova “practically unavailable” and permitted the use of his grand jury testimony in the prosecution’s case.”
