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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the rule barring comment [does] not apply where a witness, while technically accessible to both parties, stood more available to the complaining party. Where a defendant fails to call a witness more available to him and presumptively in a closer relationship with him, the [S]tate is fully entitled to comment on the party’s failure to call the witness.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Based on Pearson's testimony that he was at home with his wife at the time the sale took place, we find the State was permitted to delve into whether Pearson intended to call his wife to verify his alibi.”
