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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[C]ounsel may not use prior inconsistent statements as a `guise of impeachment for the primary purpose of placing before the jury substantive evidence which is not otherwise admissible.'”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“When a'witness fails in any manner to acknowledge the making of a statement, the impeacher is obligated to offer proof establishing the making of that statement, assuming, of course, that the issue is relevant. The trier of fact must have a valid means to decide whether the witness claimed lack of recollection is anything more than a “refuge.” By being apprised of this prior statement, the trier has such a means.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“... as circumstantial evidence from which the jury could infer that the trial testimony [of L.R.] was unreliable.”
