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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘We find in the instant case that Willis was unduly prejudiced by the police officer’s gratuitous testimony that Willis had previous contacts with the police in other incidents. (Citing Hardie). Given the context within which these statements were made, we cannot agree with the State that these statements were innocuous enough to reasonably conclude that Willis’ prior contacts with the police were as a 1) confidential infor mant; 2) former police officer; or 3) personal acquaintance.””
