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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]here was no objection to the [testimony] that became the subject of the motion for mistrial on the ground that it [was an impressible comment on] the appellant's [Fifth Amendment rights] at the time the [testimony] was [allowed] into evidence. `(A) mistrial will not lie where evidence is admitted without objection. ([cit.]) and a motion for mistrial not made contemporaneously with the alleged misconduct makes the motion not timely. [Cit.]' [Cit.]”
