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.
“At least to the extent that the juror made general observations based on his own experiences with police conduct or his own attitudes concerning it, such observations may be viewed as reflections on the credibility of the State’s witnesses and the sufficiency of its proofs, subsumed within a juror’s right to make experience-based judgments in these connections. Viewed thusly, such observations are at the very heart of the jury function and should be free from interference. See State v. Athorn, 46 N.J. 247, 251-52 , 216 A.2d 369 , cert. denied, 384 U.S. 962 , 86 S.Ct. 1589 , 16 L.Ed. 2d 674 (1966) (upholding jury verdict because juror’s statements, during deliberations, that “cops take bribes” demonstrated a shared experience rather than bias against a defendant police officer). [Id. at 368-369, 727 A.2d 468 .]”
