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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In his petition for discretionary review, appellant contends that the prosecutor committed fundamental error in his argu ment to the jury when he directly alluded to the appellant’s failure to testify. The Court of Appeals concluded that the complained of argument did not constitute a comment on appellant’s failure to testify. A concurring opinion, filed by Associate Justice John Vance, concluded that the complained of argument was necessarily a reference to appellant’s failure to testify. However, the concurring Justice noted that the appellant did not specifically object to the prosecutor’s comment. Therefore, nothing was presented for review. We have examined the record on appeal and agree ivith the concurring opinion. (emphasis added)”
