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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The trial justice’s instructions imposed a higher burden of proof on the state than is required by state law. In proving the admissibility of the evidence, as opposed to elements of the substantive crime, the standard of proof in this jurisdiction is * “clear and convincing evidence” ’ and not ‘ "beyond a reasonable doubt”’. State v. Gianoulos, R.I., 404 A.2d 81 , 84 n. 2 (1979); State v. Espinosa, 109 R.I. 221 , [228], 283 A.2d 465 , [468-469] (1971).””
