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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[n]ot only did counsel’s testimony support the trial court’s ruling on the motion for new trial, but [Jacobs] did'not produce evidence as to what he should have known at the time of his decision [about whether to testify] that he did not, nor how that information would have altered his decision. ... [In addition, Jacobs] did not present any evidence as to what the content of his testimony would have been had he testified at trial.”
