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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The objection on the ground of hearsay to defendant’s proffer of witnesses who would have testified about [a key State witness’s] threats against defendant was also mistaken. Wigmore states the pertinent rule as follows: “Utterances indirectly indicating fear, ill-will, excitement, or other emotion on the part of the speaker are also admissible, whether the person be one whose state of mind is in issue ... or a witness whose bias is to be ascertained.” [ Gorrell, supra, 297 N.J.Super. at 149-50 , 687 A.2d 1016 (quoting 6 Wigmore on Evidence § 1790 at 326 (Chadbourn rev. 1976)).]”
