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.

1. “Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. It may, however, be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, intent, prepara tion, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident, provided that upon request by the accused, the prosecution in a eriminal case shall provide reasonable notice in advance of trial, or during trial if the court excuses pre-trial notice on good ecause shown, of the general nature of any such evidence it intends to introduce at trial.”

2. “we recognize no 'hard and fast' rule governing the time period in which the State should respond to an appropriate request under 404(b). Rather, the cireum-stances of the particular case should govern whether the advance notice provided by the State to defense counsel is reasonable.”
