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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “[W]e have not found any examples where the answers provided by .Dr. Al-Mefty, or the rulings of the trial court constituted irregularities in the proceedings which prevented appellee from having a fair trial:.,. While Dr. Al-Mefty exhibited some reluctance to give answers during cross examination, the trial court guided and prodded with the re-suit being that the appellee ultimately obtained an answer to each question.”

2. “We have stated that ‘[a] verdict may not be set aside arbitrarily and without reasonable cause.’ Granting a new trial on the basis that a witness was generally ‘nonresponsive’ is , arbitrary and unreasonable. It invites abuse and threatens the right of trial by jury. In practical effect it permits the trial court to substitute its view of the evidence for that of the jury.”
