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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Collier’s appeal of his conviction to the Arkansas Court of Appeals raised only one issue, i.e., whether the circuit court erred by refusing to exclude certain evidence under Rules 401 and 403 of the Arkansas Rules of Evidence. Collier raised no issue that could have invoked jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Arkansas under Rule 1-2. Nothing in the decision of the Court of Appeals could have formed the basis for a petition for review under Rule 2-4(c). Collier’s lawyer could not honestly have signed a petition for review alleging any of the grounds that must be alleged under Rule 2^4(c).”
