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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A trial court's decision on the issue of a prosecutor's intent is to be afforded great deference on appeal. Batson treats intent to discriminate as an issue of fact which largely turns on an evaluation of the credibility of the prosecutor. Certainly a trial judge who observed the questioning of the prospective jurors is in the best position to discern the truthfulness of the prosecutor's explanation. Thus, we decline to overturn a trial court's finding on the issue of discriminatory intent unless convinced that its decision was clearly wrong or manifestly erroneous.”
