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 21 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]he evidence of the collateral offenses [involving Register's natural daughter, L.R.] was being offered [by the prosecution] to show that [Register] had a specific modus operandi or method in which he perpetrated the sexual offenses. However, the plan, scheme, or design exception is an extension of the identity exception. . . . Because identity was not at issue in this case, L.R.'s testimony was not admissible under the plan, scheme or design exception."”
