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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The] suppression of material evidence favorable to an accused violates due process. Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 , 83 S. Ct. 1194 , 10 L. Ed. 2d 215 (1963). In addressing materiality, we must evaluate the omitted evidence in the context of the entire record. United States v. Agurs, supra. If the evidence creates a reasonable doubt of guilt that otherwise did not exist, then a constitutional error has been committed. State v. Atwater, 245 Neb. 746 , 515 N.W.2d 431 (1994).”
