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.
““A statement of a victim ‘You threatened me’ and the answer of the defendant ‘Yes, I did’ would be admissible in a case of the character we have here. This goes to show threats and animosity, which certainly is relevant. To say that only the statement of the defendant, ‘Yes I did’ would be admissible, has no meaning unless the other side of the conversation in which defendant participated goes into evidence to explain his statement.””
