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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We agree with appellant that a Telfaire -like instruction could be helpful to the members in evaluating identification testimony. We urge, as do most of the federal courts, the giving of such an instruction, if requested, when identification is a primary issue in the case. [Emphasis added. Citations omitted.]”
