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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A motion for a new trial in a criminal case tried by a judge without a jury is of limited effectiveness. It affords a defendant an opportunity to convince the trial justice that he or she was wrong in his or her factual findings. The trial justice in this case denied the motion. Our standard of review is the same as would be applied to the trial justice’s factual findings on the merits. Such determinations are entitled to great weight and will not be disturbed unless the trial justice has overlooked or misconceived relevant and material evidence or was otherwise clearly wrong. State v. Howard, 114 R.I. 731, 738 , 339 A.2d 259, 263 (1975).””
