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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Since the tape that was obtained by wire tapping was not made in the presence of the Inspector and he did not claim to recognize any of the voices heard therefrom, his answer to the question, if permitted to be given, would obviously have been hearsay. And, as no effort was made to produce the original tape, nor any explanation offered for its non-production-, the answer called for, if allowed, would have violated the best evidence rule. The best evidence of which the case is capable must be produced, and secondary, or inferior, evidence is only admissible after a, proper foundation has been laid, showing good and sufficient reasons for the failure to produce the primary evidence.”
