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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“even when plain error appears, which we do not decide here, reversal is not required if the defendant invited the alleged error.... [A]ffirmative waiver, which involves the intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a known right, as opposed to mere forfeiture by failing to object, prevents a finding of plain error.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A party cannot invite error by requesting a certain jury instruction, and then complain on appeal that the instruction, when given, is incorrect. Accordingly the trial court did not err by denying [Guerrero-Moya's] motion for new trial on this basis.”
