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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The record reflects that the injured party, Milton Bryson, testified on direct examination that at the lineup he identified appellant as the robber, who he thought ‘was second from the front.’ * %‘t *.V * * * Appellant called as a witness Lt. Archer, who conducted the lineup, and elicited testimony from him to the effect that appellant was in position number four in the lineup and not position number two. On cross-examination of the officer by state’s counsel, the following transpired: 'Q Uh-huh, the Defendant here, is he the one that was selected from the showup? A Yes, sir, he was.' ” The Court held Lt. Archer’s answer on crossex-amination to be admissible to rebut the inference the defendant attempted to draw that the complainant had identified someone other than the defendant at the lineup. The State was allowed to show the fault lay in the complainant’s recollection at trial, rather than with his lineup identification.”
