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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]ould they [the police] actually put their credibility with this Court, put their jobs on the line by coming in here and risking getting caught by not telling the truth . . . ?”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“What does Officer ... have to gain by putting their careers in jeopardy, taking the stand and perjuring themselves.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“First, although such comments may not in some instances constitute an affirmative statement of the prosecutor's personal belief in the veracity of the police officer, they do constitute an inappropriate attempt to persuade the jury that the police officer's testimony should be believed simply because the witness is a police officer. Second, such comments make reference to matters outside the record and constituted [sic] impermissible bolstering of the police officer's testimony.”
