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 72 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The word `ordinarily' [in Rule 8-131(b)(1)] does indicate that there are exceptions. Nevertheless, neither the use of the word `ordinarily' in Rule 8-131(b) nor the principle embodied in the rule, has been treated as granting a general discretion to reach an issue whenever the Court so desires ... Instead, we have held that the `exceptions' to the principle embodied in Rule 8-131(b) are limited to `extraordinary circumstances.'"”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Wynn v. State · Brewer v. Brewer“[Ajlthough the relevance of the photographs derived from their use to prove the victim’s identity, which was stipulated, the stipulation did not deprive the photographs of all relevance.... Photographs are inherently cumulative, whether used to illustrate testimony or, as in this case, in support of a stipulation. We reaffirm ... that photographs need not possess essential evidentiary value to be admissible.... Furthermore, photographic evidence ordinarily does not provide the factfinder with new information, but rather with an alternative form of information.... The trial judge had discretion to determine whether this alternative form of information regarding the identity of the victim was wholly needless under the circumstances.... We hold that the trial judge’s decision to admit the photographs was not an abuse of discretion.”
