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 40 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] witness's prior consistent statements [are] admitted to corroborate the witness's courtroom testimony. Corroborative testimony is testimony which tends to strengthen, confirm, or make more certain the testimony of another witness. Prior statements admitted for corroborative purposes are not to be received as substantive evidence. [I]f the previous statements offered in corroboration are generally consistent with the witness' testimony, slight variations between them will not render the statements inadmissible. Such variations affect only the credibility of the evidence which is always for the jury. .... In a noncapital case, where portions of a statement corroborate and other portions are incompetent because they do not corroborate, the defendant must specifically object to the incompetent portions.”
5 later decisions quote this exact passage“Before deciding that an error by the trial court amounts to 'plain error,' the appellate court must be convinced that absent the error the jury probably would have reached a different verdict.”
