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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he general rule regarding admission of photographs is that their prejudicial effect must not substantially outweigh their probative value. This balancing of probative value against prejudicial effect is committed to the sound discretion of the trial judge. The trial court’s decision will not be disturbed unless ‘plainly arbitrary,’ ... because the trial judge is in the best position to make this assessment. Photographs must also be relevant to be admissible ... The relevancy determination is also committed to the trial judge’s discretion.”
