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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Curtis maintains that the admonition was not adequate to make clear to the jury just what was being excluded, and therefore the admonition did not remove the prejudicial effect of the answer. The question has not been reserved properly for our review. It was incumbent on Curtis, if he felt that the admonition was inadequate, to move the trial court for a further admonition or to move for a mistrial. See Reeves v. Commonwealth, Ky., 462 S.W.2d 926 .”
