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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We have held that in considering an appeal from a contempt order, we place great reliance on the discretion of the trial judge. Each court is the ex-elusive judge of contempts against its process, and on appeal its actions will be reversed only when a plain abuse of discretion occurs. In cases of direct criminal contempt, that is, where the contumacious act is committed in the presence of the court and .disrupts the administration of justice, an appellate court is confined to an examination of the record to determine if the facts support the trial court’s decision.”
