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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Before 1986, OEC 609(1) provided: `For the purpose of attacking the credibility of a witness, evidence that the witness had been convicted of a crime in other than a justice's court or a municipal court shall be admitted * * *.' Former OEC 609(1) (1985) (emphasis added). For unknown reasons, the drafters of the `Crime Victims' Bill of Rights' omitted the exception for convictions in justice's courts and municipal courts from the text of OEC 609. Compare former OEC 609(1) (1985) with Official 1986 General Voters' Pamphlet 50. The ballot measure did not bracket and italicize the deletion, as it did with other deletions of statutory text to show voters what changes were proposed. Nothing in the text of the initiative or its explanation in the voters' pamphlet informed the voters that the enactment would delete this text." 307 Or. 152 , 154 n. 2, 764 P.2d 920 (1988).”
