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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[t]o preserve a complaint for appellate review, a defendant must make a timely, specific objection to the trial court. It follows that an objection stating one le gal basis may not be used to support a different legal theory on appeal. Courts have routinely held that where a complaint on appeal does not comport with an objection made at trial, the error is not preserved on the complaint. An objection is sufficient to preserve error for appellate review if the objection communicates to the trial judge what the objecting party wants and why the objecting party thinks himself entitled to relief. To preserve error where objectionable testimony is involved, a party must object every time the allegedly inadmissible testimony is offered.”
