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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Even if Cook’s comment is construed as a reference to Ferrell’s post-arrest silence, the reference was inadvertently elicited while Cook was attempting to explain Ferrell’s demeanor, and the prosecution did not dwell on the reference. Under such circumstances, we will not reverse a trial court’s decision to deny a mistrial. Dansby v. State, 319 Ark. 506 , 893 S.W.2d 331 (1995); Tarkington v. State, 313 Ark. 399 , 855 S.W.2d 306 (1993).”
