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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he alleged racial slurs and derogatory racial comments the jurors made during deliberations in this case may have denied the appellants a fair and impartial trial. Moreover, the trial court did not even afford the appellants an opportunity to inquire of the jury regarding the alleged prejudice.- The trial court simply dismissed the accusations of bigotry in Reardon’s affidavit and denied the appellants’ motion for new trial. At the very least, appellants must have an opportunity to determine the truth or falsity of the allegations made by Reardon. If Reardon’s allegations are true, a jury interview will not suffice due to the extreme racial comments made by the jurors. Any attempt by the jurors to characterize their racially charged comments would have no effect of erasing prejudice and bigotry so evident. It is an abuse of discretion for the trial court to refuse to declare a mistrial upon learning of juror misconduct. (Citations omitted). Wright, 650 So.2d at 643 .”
