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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A lay witness may offer his opinion about the identification of another person . . . from a photo `if there is some basis for concluding that the witness is more likely to correctly identify the defendant from the photograph than is the jury.' It is not necessary that the identification witness be an eyewitness to the crime itself.”
