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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“One of the accepted bases for the admissibility of evidence of other crimes arises when such evidence “furnishes part of the context of the crime” or is necessary to a “full presenta tion” of the case, or is so intimately connected with and explanatory of the crime charged against the defendant and is so much a part of the setting of the case and its “environment” that its proof is appropriate in order “to complete the story of the crime on trial by proving its immediate context or the ‘res gestae’ ” or the “uncharged offense is ‘so linked together in point of time and circumstances with the crime charged that one cannot be fully shown without proving the other ... ’ [and is thus] part of the res gestae of the crime charged.” And where evidence is admissible to provide this “full presentation” of the offense, “[t]here is no reason to fragmentize the event under inquiry” by suppressing parts of the “res gestae.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Broaddus · State v. McGee“The remote thefts were not admissible under any theory. This evidence shows appellant’s bad character and his propensity to commit crimes. These are inadmissible purposes. The temporal connection between these petty thefts and the charged crimes is too attenuated for admissibility under the res gestae theory or under Lyle . Thus the trial judge erred in admitting evidence of the remote thefts.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Sweat“Whether the improper introduction of this evidence is harmless requires the Court to determine whether [the] appellant's 'guilt is conclusively proven by competent evidence, such that no other rational conclusion could be reached.'”
