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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A reasonable interpretation of the victim's cross-examination does not indicate, either expressly or implicitly, a charge of recent fabrication, improper influence or motive to falsify. Her testimony did not indicate that she was changing her story at trial; nor did the impeachment attempts establish any fact which indicated that her trial testimony was improperly influenced or that she had a motive to falsify. A witness' [sic] credibility is always an issue at trial, and a general attack on that credibility does not satisfy the hearsay exception rule.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Similar fact evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is admissible when relevant to prove a material fact in issue, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident, but it is inadmissible when the evidence is relevant solely to prove bad character or propensity.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Saffor v. State“[I]n this case there was no attempt on cross-examination to establish any improper influence, motive, or recent fabrication in respect to C.M.F.'s trial testimony. At best, only general inconsistencies between his testimony at trial and on pretrial deposition were shown on cross-examination.”
