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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"As stated by Smith, C. J., in Jones v. Jones, 80 N.C. 246 , 250: `In whatever way the credit of the witness may be impaired, it may be restored or strengthened by this [proof of prior consistent statements] or any other proper evidence tending to insure confidence in his veracity and in the truthfulness of his testimony.' Bowman v. Blankenship, 165 N.C. 519 , 81 S.E. 746 ; Brown v. Loftis, 226 N.C. 762, 764 , 40 S.E.2d 421 ; Stansbury, op. cit. § 50. . . ."”
