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 31 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Although the General Assembly may enact legislation to effectuate its policy of protecting the confidentiality of juvenile records, such enactment may not impinge upon the right of a defendant in a criminal case to present all available, relevant and probative evidence which is pertinent to a specific and material aspect of his defense. The record at bar does not reflect an effort to conduct a fishing expedition into the witness’ juvenile background, nor an attempt to impeach her by a general showing of prior Juvenile Court appearances as the result of misconduct.””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““Her testimony was that she had not changed her blouse at any time after the murder. However, TomFeltner’s testimony [Feltner was the excluded witness] would have been to the effect that she had a different blouse on when she left for the drive to the school than the one she was wearing when she was questioned by police after the homicide. Thus, his testimony bore directly upon the defense’s position that she had changed her clothes subsequent to the incident and had lied in her testimony on this point. The excluded testimony also offered a plausible explanation of why her clothes were not blood-spattered if, as maintained by the defense, she had committed the brutal killing.” ( 42 Ohio St. 200 , 201-02 n. 1, 327 N.E.2d 639 , 641 n. 1.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Charges to the jury upon the law of a case should be confined to a charge of the law upon those material issues of fact which the evidence tends to establish. No such charge should be given unless there is evidence of record which supports and requires it. See State v. Linder (1907), 76 Ohio St. 463 , 81 N. E. 753 ; Bandy v. State (1921), 102 Ohio St. 384 , 131 N. E. 499 *** .””
