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.

“[t]he plain error rule should be used sparingly and does not justify a review of every alleged trial error that has not been preserved for appellate review.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“Plain error and prejudicial error are not synonymous terms. No precise method exists for determining plain error but it can be said that plain error includes prejudicial error which so substantially affects the rights of the accused that a “manifest injustice or miscarriage of justice inexorably results if left uncorrected.””
