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

  3. “"`While it is true that contemporaneity is a factor to be considered in determining the admissibility of such statements, it is by no means controlling, and such things as the nature of the event, the victim's state of mind, and all other circumstances are important considerations. The precise amount of time that may elapse before a statement loses its spontaneity as an excited utterance evoked by a startling event and becomes a mere narrative cannot be established by any absolute rule of law and accordingly, [m]uch must be left to the discretion of the [trial] court in admitting or rejecting such testimony.'" State v. Smith (1986), 34 Ohio App.3d 180 , 190 , quoting State v. Martineau (1974), 114 N.H. 552 , 556-557 (statements made two or three hours after incident).”
