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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The trial judge ruled the testimony admissible on the basis that defense counsel had “opened the door” to this testimony by her previous questioning. “Opening the door” occurs when either party introduces part of an act, occurrence or transaction. Then the opposing party is entitled to introduce or to inquire into other parts of the whole thereof in order to explain or rebut adverse inferences which might arise from the fragmentary or incomplete character of the evidence introduced by his adversary, or prove his version of the incident.”

If such questioning had been forbidden, the defendant could have obtained an unfair advantage by offering a portion of the facts relating to this evidence which would ordinarily not have been admissible, and then raising objections to the admission of the remainder of the transaction.”
