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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"It is interesting to note that prior to amendment of Section 90.08 by the 1971 Legislature, any person who had been convicted of perjury was barred from testifying as a witness in any court proceeding. In light of this history and the unqualified language of the present version of Section 90.08, we believe the legislature intended to allow perjury to remain in a unique category. The legislature must have determined that a prior perjury conviction particularly affected the credibility of a witness and should be revealed to the jury."”
