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.

“evidence, but merely impeach the testimony of Mark Lamm who stated that he thought he saw Silvers at appellant's home between 3:30 and 5:30. Both Algee and Scott Garrison testified that Silvers left work between 6:30 and 7:30.
