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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We find no error ... in the trial court’s decision in this matter. The principle is well established in Tennessee that the results of a lie detector test are inadmissible in evidence.... No defendant, whether indigent or non-indigent, can introduce polygraph test results at trial.... The limited utility of such suspect evidence militates against the disbursement of state monies for such a purpose. This issue has no merit.”
