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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “A defendant has a due process right to a hearing on his motion for a new trial if he requests one, "but the trial court has no duty to initiate such hearing." [Cit.] Rather, "the party seeking a hearing must take affirmative steps to request one," and failure to do [so] results in a waiver of the right. [Cit.] Here, because the record reflects no request by [Mangrum] for a hearing on his motion for a new trial, the trial court did not err in failing to hold such a hearing.”
