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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Q. Did Larry appear to you to be a suspicious person or a jealous person when it came to Gloria while she worked there? A. No. Q. What made you think that? A. There was one case when Larry and myself and several other employees had to go down to Des Moines, Iowa to our corporate headquarters. During this time Larry called back from Des Moines to the Whitewood office and had asked to speak to Roger on the phone. The person that answered the phone called over to the accounting office and the person there that worked with Gloria said that ... Mr. Hughes: Your Honor this is hearsay about three times removed. The Court: It seems to be. Mr. Bloomberg: Your Honor, I’m not going to offer it to prove the truth of the matter asserted. It’s going to show what the affect [sic] of this conversation had on Larry. The Court: Overruled. Q. Go ahead. A. Okay. It was told that the person that answered the phone that Gloria and Roger had gone out to Gloria’s house to sit in the hot tub during their lunch hour. When she told Larry on the phone, Larry just said “I didn’t ask you where he was or what he was doing. Now let me talk to someone else” and he asked for another employee. Q. Did he seem concerned at all about that message? A. No, he didn’t.”
