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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The record in this case does not show how [Gaines] acquired his information; he could merely have been repeating rumors, or he might have acquired information second or third hand. It would have been error to allow [Gaines] personally to testify over objection about a crime of which he had neither personal knowledge nor information directly from . . . the defendant[ ] [himself]. The testimony of [the resident of the trailer] was no more admissible than [Gaines’s] would have been, and the trial court erred by admitting it in evidence over [Hart’s hearsay] objections. 18”
