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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Indeed, the cross-examination of the witness may open the door for the admission on redirect examination of matters tending to support the case, which would not have been admissible on the case in chief. . . . The conduct of the examination of a witness on his redirect examination and whether or not a question is proper, whether or not new matter should be admitted or whether there should be an explanation or avoidance of new matter brought out in the cross-examination, are questions that are largely within the discretion of the court.’ ””
