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 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

““The general rule is that such statements of a declarant’s present mental condition made out of court are excepted from the hearsay ban. Ordinarily, however, such statements are not admitted except in limited situations when they are relevant and the relevancy outweighs their prejudicial effect. Trial courts are in the best position to determine the probativeness and prejudicial effect of the evidence.””
