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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The evidence must have come to the moving party’s knowledge after a trial; (2) the moving party must not have been negligence in seeking to discover it; (3) the evidence must be material to the issue; (4) the testimony must not be merely cumulative to the testimony which was introduced at trial; and (5) it must be reasonably probable that a different result would be reached on a new trial. Sheehan v. State, 65 Wis.2d 757, 768 , 223 N.W.2d 600, 606 (1974); State v. Herfel, 49 Wis.2d 513, 521-22 , 182 N.W.2d 232, 237 (1971).”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Depositions of witnesses are allowed in criminal cases. State ex rel. Drew v. Shaughnessy (1933), 212 Wis. 322 , 249 N.W. 522 . Sec. 967.04, Stats., so provides. However, if the witness is not in fact unavailable or if the prose-cutorial authorities have not made a good-faith effort to obtain his presence at trial, the use of the deposition does not fit within the exception to the confrontation requirement. Barber v. Page (1968), 390 U.S. 719 , 88 S. Ct. 1318 , 20 L. Ed. 2d 255 .”
