Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 41 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This means that the omission must be evaluated in the context of the entire record. If there is no reasonable doubt about guilt whether or not the additional evidence is considered, there is no justification for a new trial. On the other hand, if the verdict is already of questionable validity, additional evidence of rela tively minor importance might be sufficient to create a reasonable doubt. United States v. Agurs, supra at 112-13 , 96 S.Ct. at 2402 note omitted).”
