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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The defendant argues that the trial court permitted evidence of another crime by allowing the witness Newman to testify concerning the theft of her purse. We are of the opinion that the loss of the checks was a fact that had a direct and clear relationship to the crime of Uttering a Forged Instrument. In Harris v. State, Okl.Cr., 450 P.2d 857 (1969), we stated: “ ‘If evidence is logically pertinent in that it reasonably tends to prove a material fact in issue, it is not to be rejected merely because it incidentally proves the defendant guilty of another crime.’ ””
