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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] statement of the declarant’s then-existing state of mind, emotion, sensation, or physical condition (such as intent, plan, motive, design, mental feeling, pain and bodily health), but not including a statement of memory or belief to prove the fact remembered or believed.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“(a) the right asserted in the claim did not exist at the time of the trial and has been determined to be retroactive in its application; (b) the prosecutor, the judge, or a law enforcement agency suppressed evidence from the defendant [convicted person] or his attorney that prevented the claim from being raised and disposed of; or (c) material and controlling facts upon which the claim is predicated were not known to the defendant [convicted person] or his attorney and could not have been ascertained by the exercise of reasonable diligence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Martin“If the evidence circumstantially proves the declarant’s state of mind, then the evidence is not offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted and the evidence is not hearsay. Alternatively, when the evidence directly proves the declarant’s state of mind, the evidence is introduced to prove the truth of the matter asserted and is hearsay.”
