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 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"We see no merit in Defendant's contentions on this issue. He was left in exactly the same position he would have been had the court granted the motions in limine. An in limine order is merely a temporary order to suspend or prevent the imposition of a subject into evidence without first having the court review the proposed subject outside the presence of the jury. [Citation omitted]. If the court had granted the motion in limine when asked for, it would have delayed a ruling on the subject until the occasion arose for the offering of such evidence. The granting of a motion in limine does not conclusively rule that evidence will not be permitted. [Citation omitted]. Defendant was left in the same circumstances to make his tactical decision as to his taking the stand as he would have been had the court granted his motion in limine.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Defendant cites us to no authority for a test jury, and we know of none. Such a body is unknown to our legal process. Defendant does not tell us how it is to be drawn, constituted or to deliberate. We find no error in the court's denial of this procedure.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Burdine v. State · Clemens v. State““There is no right, accorded to a defendant to have each juror separately sequestered and questioned outside the presence of the other jurors. In fact, our general procedure in the conduct of trials is to the contrary. The trial court has broad discretion in regulating the form and substance of voir dire and this discretion will not be reviewed absent a clear showing of abuse of discretion.” (Citations omitted.) Id. at 1115”
