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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendant does not dispute that the evidence of prior and other bad acts was admissible. See State v. DeLong, 505 A.2d 803, 805 (Me.1986). Instead, for the first time on appeal, defendant argues that the court’s failure to give sua sponte a limiting instruction concerning the permitted purpose of the evidence was obvious error affecting substantial rights. We disagree. Although a limiting instruction should be given when evidence of prior and other bad acts is admitted, the failure to do so here was not obvious error.”
