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.
“we are hard pressed to think of anything more damning to an accused than information that a jury had previously convicted him for the crime charged. It seems unreasonable to expect a juror to divorce from his deliberative process, knowledge that a defendant had been previously tried and convicted, and following a reversal has been once again subjected to prosecution. The mere expenditure of so much time and expense on the part of the state might lead the average lay person to assume that such a defendant must, in fact, be guilty.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““In other words, every time a person wins an appeal it’s another case, it’s another trial and another jury, not the juiy that originally heard the case, has to come in and decide facts. “It is unfortunate that you people, whoever it was, after my admonishment of you exactly to that effect even listened to it. This case has taken all week. “Now, you just tell me if anybody is going to be tainted by this information? That’s the way it is. Facts don’t change. “Let me go down the list.” 501 So. 2d at 1382 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Cook““During the deliberations, the six jurors took a vote as to whether we believe Mr. Weber shot Ricky Facen. After the vote, one of the jurors commented that Mr. Weber was convicted of these charges in a case previously and received a 99-year sentence that was later overturned on appeal for a technicality. The source from which the information came was the juiy pool room yesterday .... Two people were discussing the case and the juror overheard die comment.” 501 So. 2d at 1381 .”
