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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The financial resources of Florida’s county governments are finite, and trial courts correctly exercise care in expending funds so that resources will be available when truly needed. Nevertheless, given the central importance of the DNA evidence to the state’s case (and hence the defendant’s defense), the likely benefit of accurate DNA testing to the truth-seeking function of the trial, the diligence of the defense in seeking appointment of the expert and the specificity of the request, we conclude the lower court abused its discretion in denying the expert’s appointment.”
