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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“For a juror to be excused for cause, it must be shown that he or she holds an opinion of the guilt or innocence of the defendant that is so fixed and definite that [he or she] will be unable to set the opinion aside and decide the case based upon the evidence or the court’s charge upon the evidence. [Cits.] A prospective juror’s doubt as to his or her own impartiality does not demand as a matter of law that he or she be excused for cause.”
