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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is well established that, in a criminal case, a witness may testify concerning tangible objects which are involved without producing the articles. It is not a violation of the best evidence rule which applies only to writings, photographs, and recordings, nor does it violate the hearsay rule for a witness to testify about a physical object not presented in court. An accused has no constitutional right to confrontation in the case of physical objects as opposed to witnesses who testify against him.”
