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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“To disallow the Defendants to testify about the conversations, as they recalled them, was to remove the heart of their defense.... [T]he error was not in disallowing the informant’s testimony but in not permitting the Defendants to explain their motives and states of mind at the time of the alleged inducement. The testimony offered was not offered to prove the truth of the informant’s statements but to attempt to show the state of the Defendants’ minds.... We reverse and remand for a new trial because of this error.”
