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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A]n objection on the ground that the witness’s answer is unresponsive to the question is properly available only to the party propounding the question. ‘The mere fact that the answer is unresponsive is not an objection available to the opponent.’ C. McCormick, Handbook of the Law of Evidence § 52 at 113, n. 26 (1954), citing cases. The opponent’s appropriate remedy, when it becomes apparent that some feature of the answer is objectionable, is by way of a motion to strike the answer or its objectionable parts. 1 Stansbury’s N.C. Evidence, Witnesses § 27 (Brandis rev. 1973).”
