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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Such conversations are treated as nonhearsay ‘in spite of the fact that the implications of the declarations must be believed for the declarations to have probative value.’ [That treatise] classifies these [statements as] extrajudicial conversations . . . admitted into evidence to prove the nature of a place or thing associated with the conversation. [It identifies] ‘a patent absence of a motive to falsify on the part of the declarant’ [as another characteristic of such statements].””
