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 28 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he operations of drug dealers are generally an appropriate subject for expert testimony. Because the clandestine nature of narcotics trafficking is likely to be outside the knowledge of the average layman, law enforcement officers may testify as experts in order to assist the jury in understanding these transactions.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“[The statistical evidence] assisted the jury in understanding that ... certain objects are not particularly conducive to finding prints. [The defendant] did not have an opportunity to wipe his prints from the gun, nor was there evidence that he wore glovbs. Without [the fingerprint technician’s] testimony, the jury may not have understood how [the defendant] could have possessed the weapon without leaving prints.”
