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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Before evidence of a collateral offense can be legally admissible “the points of similarity must have some special character or be so unusual as to point to the defendant.” Drake v. State, 400 So.2d 1217, 1219 (Fla.1981). “To minimize the risk of a wrongful conviction, the similar fact evidence must meet a strict standard of relevance. The charged and collateral offenses must not only be strikingly similar, but they must also share some unique characteristic or combination of characteristics which sets them apart from other offenses.” Heuring v. State, 513 So.2d 122 (Fla.1987).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“This requirement of striking similarity applies even when identity is not an issue.”
