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 49 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We will not reverse a ruling on juror qualifications absent an abuse of discretion. Henslee v. State, 251 Ark. 125 , 471 S.W.2d 352 (1971). Arkansas Stat. Ann. § 43-1919 defines actual bias as “the existence of such a state of mind on the part of the juror, in regard to the case or to either party, as satisfies the court, in the exercise of a sound discretion, that he can not try the case impartially, and without prejudice to the substantial rights of the party challenging.” Jurors are presumed unbiased and the burden of proving actual bias is on the party challenging the juror. Linell v. State, 283 Ark. 162 , 671 S.W.2d 741 (1984).”
