The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

“If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education, may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“We have emphasized the word “otherwise” [in the quote] because the insertion of that word shows beyond question that the officer’s request for information must be in aid of the investigation or prevention of crime. Here there is nothing in the officers’ testimony to support a belief that Officer Sanders asked Meadows for identification in the course of a criminal investigation.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Slinger” is a street term, or “slanger” as it’s commonly referred to, is a person who deals dope. They’re slinging dope on the streets. And a “banger” is a person that’s referred — a gang member that is referred to as really being into the gang rivalries if you will; shooting at, having conflict with other gangs and other gang members.”
