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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The trial court, however, had theretofore overruled State’s motion in limine and State’s counsel had little reason to believe that an elaborate objection even if followed by a vigorous legal argument would be successful. Under the circumstances, we are of the opinion that the objection was sufficient to preserve the point.””
