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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In such a case the defendant must inform the court as to what the expected testimony of the missing witnesses would be. Likewise, he must show that there is a probability that the absent witnesses would be available if the case were continued. . . . [He must also show] a “strong probability” or any probability, that the absence of the witnesses substantially affected the result of the trial or that the result would have been different if they had been located and produced. [Id. at 702 (citations omitted).]”
