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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“There were no eyewitnesses to the alleged incident other than the alleged victim. The jury's verdict basically distilled down to whether they believed the baby-sitter's version of the events that transpired, or appellant's version. Given the quantity and quality of the evidence before the jury, we cannot say beyond a reasonable doubt that the statement did not affect the verdict.”
