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.

““Under our rules of evidence, unless otherwise provided, all relevant evidence is admissible. N.C.G.S. § 8C-1, Rule 402 (1988). ‘ “Relevant evidence” means evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.’ N.C.G.S. § 8C-1, Rule 401 (1988). In criminal cases, ‘ “[E]very circumstance that is calculated to throw any light upon the supposed crime is admissible. The weight of such evidence is for the jury.” ’ State v. Whiteside, 325 N.C. 389, 397 , 383 S.E.2d 911, 915 (1989) (quoting State v. Hamilton, 264 N.C. 277, 286-87 , 141 S.E.2d 506, 513 (1965), cert. denied, 384 U.S. 1020 , 16 L. Ed. 2d 1044 (1966)).””
