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.

““When a new trial is sought on the basis of recanting testimony of a prosecution witness, the weight to be given such testimony is for the trial judge passing on the motion for a new trial to determine. [Citations omitted.] The trial judge is required to grant a new trial only when he [or she] is satisfied the recantation of the witness is true.””
