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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The failure to produce the colposcopic photograph could only have been harmful error if it could have negated the identity of the defendants as perpetrators or if it could have helped impeach the child victim's credibility. The former is obviously impossible and, as to the latter, the most the actual photograph could have accomplished was to negate Dr. Tokarski's testimony that she found scarring consistent with sexual contact. In other words, if the photograph had shown no genital abnormality for a nine-year-old, this may have been somewhat impeaching of the child's testimony concerning her repeated abuse.”
