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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The government seeks to modify [Petersen, James, and Andrews]; it requests a less formal procedure, one which allows the hearsay to be received on a conditional basis subject to ‘connecting it up.’ This is not new. It has been practiced by prosecutors for, lo, these many years. During all of this time • courts have condemned it. By the time the connected up stage arrives, the evidence has blended so that there is no distinction between hearsay and non-hearsay.””
