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

4 later decisions quote this exact passage“The Confrontation Clause in Article I, Section 23 of the North Carolina Constitution “guarantees an accused the right to be present in person at every stage of his trial.” State v. Payne, 320 N.C. 138, 139 , 357 S.E.2d 612, 612 (1987). “This right to be present extends to all times during the trial when anything is said or done which materially affects defendant as to the charge against him.” State v. Chapman, 342 N.C. 330, 337-38 , 464 S.E.2d 661, 665 (1995), cert. denied, - U.S. -, 135 L. Ed. 2d 1077 (1996). A defendant’s right to be present during all stages of his capital trial is a nonwaivable right, Payne, 320 N.C. at 139 , 357 S.E.2d at 612 , and we have imposed a duty upon the trial court to insure a defendant’s presence throughout the trial, id. The violation of this right is subject to a harmless error beyond a reasonable doubt standard of review.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[defendant] had no right to be present when prospective jurors were preliminarily sworn, oriented and qualified for jury service in general, without regard to any particular case or trial. Further, because defendant Workman’s trial had not yet commenced, these “proceedings” could not have been conducted during a stage of defendant Workman’s capital trial.”
