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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[N]o hard and fast rules exist which state with certainty when prosecutorial misconduct reaches a level of prejudicial error which demands reversal of the conviction and a new trial; each case must be decided on its own facts. Furthermore, we will not disturb the trial court's ruling on a motion for a new trial based on misconduct of counsel unless we are convinced there has been a clear abuse of discretion. (Citations omitted).”
5 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Lee · State v. Bullis“the trial judge was on the scene, had heard the arguments and had the opportunity to know whether [the improper remarks] had any apparent effect on the jury. He apparently didn’t feel that they had and we accede to his judgment lacking any showing on the part of the defense of actual bias or prejudice. (Emphasis added.)”
