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.
“The law in Florida is clear that the mere mention of polygraph results in a criminal case is grounds for a mistrial. Walsh v. State, 418 So.2d 1000 (Fla. 1982); Kaminski v. State, 63 So.2d 339 (Fla.1952). This includes not only the suggestions regarding a defendant and a polygraph exam but also testimony regarding witnesses and their polygraph results which may weigh heavily in the case on the question of defendant's guilt or innocence. Simeon v. State, 520 So.2d 81 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988). However, not every reference to a polygraph exam is inadmissible, nor does every improper admission of the taking of polygraph exam require a mistrial.”
