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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “The appellant misreads these rules. None of them absolves the party at trial from making the appropriate objection as a prerequisite to our review, and we have so held. See, e.g., Fretwell v. State, supra [ 289 Ark. 91 , 708 S.W.2d 630 (1986)]; Wicks v. State, supra, [ 270 Ark. 366 , 606 S.W.2d 366 (1980)]. Rule 11(0 of the Arkansas Supreme Court Rules and Rule 36.24 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure both require review of the record for error in life and death cases, but this review presupposes that an objection was made at trial. And, as was noted by this court in Wicks, Ark. R. Evid. 103(d) at best is limited to evidentiary matters and in any case does not impose an affirmative duty on the appellate courts to review such matters for the first time on appeal. Again, there was no objection made by the appellant regarding his criminal record at trial.”
