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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““During the lengthy cross-examination of appellant’s wife, the prosecutor repeatedly failed to elicit a denial of the prior statement of the witness before reading the grand jury testimony. ... On at least 14 occasions, much as in the example above, the prosecutor read the testimony to the witness and asked if she remembered making the statement, without first eliciting a denial of the prior statement. This use intersected into evidence a large portion of the grand jury testimony that was inadmissible [emphasis added].””
