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.
“Although this matter had not been touched upon during the direct examination of McKenzie, beyond the stock question from the prosecutor whether McKenzie had been previously convicted of a felony, it is not necessary that matters tending to show bias, prejudice, or improper motive be within the scope of direct for such questioning to be proper cross-examination.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“This ruling correctly recognized that defense counsel could properly seek to establish a motive on McKenzie's part which would exonerate the appellant or, at least, to provide a reasonable doubt as to McKenzie's credibility and claim that the appellant was as guilty as McKenzie was.”
