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 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Admissions as to convictions of unrelated prior criminal offenses are not competent as substantive evidence but are competent as bearing upon defendant’s credibility as a witness. Stansbury, North Carolina Evidence, Second Edition, § 112; State v. Sheffield, 251 N.C. 309, 312 , 111 S.E. 2d 195, 197 . No request was made that the court so instruct the jury. ‘It is a well recognized rule of procedure that when evidence competent for one purpose only and not for another is offered it is incumbent upon the objecting party to request the court to restrict the consideration of the jury to that aspect of the evidence which is competent.’ State v. Ray, 212 N.C. 725, 729 , 194 S.E. 482, 484 ; Stansbury, op. tit., § 79; Rule 21, Rules of Practice in the Supreme Court, 254 N.C. 803 . * * *””
