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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]n order for a party to preserve for appellate review the exclusion of evidence, the significance of the excluded evidence must be made to appear in the record and a specific offer of proof is required unless the significance of the evidence is obvious from the record.... [Additionally,] the essential content or substance of the witness' testimony must be shown before we can ascertain whether prejudicial error occurred.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“[E]videntiary error does not necessitate a new trial unless the erroneous admission was prejudicial. The same rule applies to exclusion of evidence. Evidentiary error is prejudicial when there is a reasonable possibility that, had the error in question not been committed, a different result would have been reached at the trial out of which the appeal arises. Defendant bears the burden of showing prejudice.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“[n]o offer of proof was made regarding any details Hampton knew about the victim’s criminal history, nor is the significance of any purported knowledge or lack of knowledge of these convictions on the part of Hampton, defendant’s companion at the time of the shooting, obvious from the record. Accordingly, the exclusion of this evidence has not been preserved for appellate review.”
