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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“the state was able to identify the substance of petitioner's points of error and address the merits, citing two of the landmark Supreme Court cases on the confrontation clause.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Petitioner’s state appellate brief emphasizes the hearsay aspects of the unavailable witness testimony problem and thus can be said to have raised the confrontation clause only implicitly. We do not think that an evidentiary focus necessarily means that the constitutional issue was not “fairly presented” to the state court. The hearsay rules and the confrontation clause are intimately related, though not identical in purpose or scope.”
