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.
“when a disreputable witness is called and frankly presented to the jury as such, the party calling him represents him for the occasion and the purposes of the trial as worthy of belief”). 22 . Fed.R.Evid. 404(b) prohibits the government from introducing such evidence to demonstrate the defendant's bad character: Evidence of other crimes, wrongs or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. It may, however, be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident. 23 . See Fed.R.Evid. 403 ("Although relevant, evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice....”). 24 . We note that West's failure to specifically identify those portions of the record relevant to his claim of error borders on waiving any claim of error. See Fed.R.App.P. 28(a)(4) (noting that the argument section of the appellant's brief "shall contain the contentions of the appellant with respect to the issues presented, and reasons therefor, with citations to the ... parts of the record relied on ") (emphasis added). Instead of adhering to the commands of Rule 28, West merely alleges that the Rule 404(b) evidence at issue was "quite significant: see Volume 13, pp. 1351-1388, and virtually all of Vols. 14, 15, and Vol. 16; Government Exhibits 269-363.”
