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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Abuse of discretion is a high threshold that does not simply require error in the trial court’s decision, but requires that the trial court act improvidently, thoughtlessly, or without due consideration. Nazarenko v. CTI Trucking Co., Inc, 313 Ark. 570 , 856 S.W.2d 869 (1993). Here, the court erred, but we cannot say that the trial court’s action in admitting a statement for the purpose of impeachment was improvident, thoughtless or without due consideration. We conclude that the trial court’s actions do not require reversal as an abuse of its discretion.”
