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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Except for purposes of impeachment, and the proof confined then within the narrow limits indicated by the statement just quoted, the general rule is that proof of other crimes is inadmissible, and the usual prejudicial character of such evidence is readily conceded by all courts and text-writers. Of course, there are well defined exceptions, as where the proof of other crimes tends to establish intent, motive, absence of mistake or accident, common scheme and plan, or identity of the person of the accused on trial. State v. Bassett, 26 N.M. [476] 477, 194 P. 867 . No contention is had that the proof here made was for any other purpose than that of impeachment.””
