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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[according to Ark. R. Evid. 401, relevant evidence is evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.... We cannot say that the trial court in this instance abused its discretion. A .45 caliber bullet and three .45 caliber shell casings were recovered from the scene, including two which were manufactured by the Winchester Cartridge Company; a .45 caliber cartridge manufactured by the Winchester Cartridge Company was recovered from Bohanan’s ear. It was thus more probable that Bohanan had access to a .45 caliber weapon at the time of the homicide. Bohanan further submits that the introduction of the bullet was unduly prejudicial and created a danger that “the jury would attach undue significance to this evidence and conclude that the appellant was somehow involved in the alleged offense.” ... This weighing is a matter left to the trial court’s sound discretion and will not be reversed absent a showing of manifest abuse. Id. The appellant has simply failed | 13to establish an abuse of discretion in this instance.”
