Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 93 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

Rather, the evidence was offered to explain the officer’s actions in restraining Sims when he reached towards his pocket. The evidence was not hearsay and was properly admissible.”
