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.
“In this jurisdiction, evidence tending to support a witness’s credibility is admissible when he is impeached in any manner including contradictory statements, cross-examination, or contradiction by other witnesses. State v. Cope, 240 N.C. 244 , 81 S.E. 2d 773 . Some of our more recent cases tend to recognize the admissibility of corroborative evidence without even considering the question of whether the witness has been impeached. See, 1 Stansbury’s N.C. Evidence, Witnesses, Sec. 50 (Brandis Rev.), and cases there cited.”
