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 43 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[t]he recorded conversation was not a ‘relevant statement’ under the meaning of Rule 16. It was introduced not as a part of the government’s case-in-chief, but on rebuttal. ... It was not admitted for its truth, but was admitted solely for the purpose of [impeachment]. . There was nothing in the statement which had any bearing on the substantive crimes charged.””
