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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The prosecutor offered no evidence to rebut the defendant's denial that he had been convicted of that offense. Rather, he undertook a persistent inquiry into other identities and aliases the defendant may have assumed, and those which defendant had denied having used were tied to him by an uncanny coincidence of personal detail obviously derived from the FBI report to which the prosecutor was making reference . . . . . . The prejudice arose when evidence of identity of person was shown but evidence of conviction under the assumed name was not, for although the prior conviction which had been the focus of the protracted impeachment interrogation had not been proved, the impression or inference of prior crime was implanted in the jury's consciousness.”
