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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A map, diagram or plat, if verified as a true and correct representation of the subject matter about which testimony is offered or is to be offered, and if reasonably necessary and material, is admissible in evidence as a proper instrumentality to assist the court and jury in understanding the testimony and the case at hand.... Where the exhibit does not purport to be exact, a map or rough sketch may be admissible, although not drawn to scale, or not correct in all particulars, if substantiated generally as to the subject matter to which it relates by the testimony of the witness using the exhibit.... Such exhibits are generally used to illustrate the locus in quo of a crime, and their admission, not as testimony, but as illustrative of testimony, rests in the discretion of the trial court."”
