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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While such a matter can be raised by way of a petition for relief under [Ark. R. Crim. P. 37], a trial court is not precluded from hearing evidence on such a motion as grounds for a new trial. . . . The trial court, having just finished the trial and observing the conduct of counsel, was in a unique position to hear and determine the matter; such a hearing enables us to review the matter on appeal.”
