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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Long-accepted principles of Virginia law support the proposition that, when a credibility determination must be made ■with respect to the predicate for the admission of proffered conditionally relevant evidence, that credibility determination must be made by the jury.... In the context of evaluating the predicate of conditionally relevant evidence, the trial court’s review of the credibility of a witness is limited to determining whether his or her testimony is “unreasonable, as a matter of law, or inherently incredible,” or such that reasonable people “could not differ as to its effect.””
