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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The Trial Court had the opportunity to observe the witnesses’ demeanor, appearance, mannerisms, candor or lack of candor, and consequently was in a much better position than is this Court, which sees only the typewritten page, to judge the credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be given the testimony of each.””
