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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Tolbert v. State, 441 So.2d 1374 (Miss. 1983), the court addressed the narrow question of whether the fact that statements made by the defendant in a criminal case were reserved for rebuttal removed them from the scope of a discovery order. We held, Under our holding in Jackson v. State, 426 So.2d 405 (Miss. 1983); and Morris v. State, 436 So.2d 1381 (Miss. 1983), there is no distinction in an incriminating statement being offered by the state's case in chief, or reserving it for rebuttal, the accused is nevertheless entitled to discovery so as not to be caught by surprise at trial... . 441 So.2d at 1375. We went on to hold that after a court has entered a discovery order it must be complied with in some meaningful way. We are therefore required to reverse and remand this case for a new trial because of non-compliance with Circuit Court Rule 4.06.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“This [Johnson's argument] overlooks, however, the nature of the doctrine of collateral estoppel which contemplates a prior adjudication of an issue by the trier of fact. See Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436 , 90 S.Ct. 1189 , 25 L.Ed.2d 469 (1970). In this case there was no prior adjudication of any issue because the two indictments were consolidated and simultaneously submitted to the jury for its verdict. In our opinion the doctrine of collateral estoppel is simply not applicable when one jury returns two verdicts in a consolidated trial.”
