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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . failure of questioned evidence to meet only one element of the Just test is not sufficient to refuse its admission, a decision to admit the evidence should not be made lightly. The four factors must be considered together.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Hall · State v. Murray“(1) The other crimes, wrongs or acts must be similar. (2) The other crimes, wrongs or acts must not be remote in time. (3) The evidence of other crimes, wrongs or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show that he acted in conformity with such character; but may be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident. (4) Although relevant, evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, misleading of the jury, considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Ayers““THE COURT: I guess the point I’m making is I’m being asked . . . at this time to make a ruling [on the admissibility of other crimes and wrongs evidence] when I’m really in a vacuum. I don’t know what the facts are on either side. I don’t know whether or not the probative value outweighs the prejudicial nature of the evidence. I don’t know whether it’s relevant. I don’t know whether they’re similar in nature. I don’t know whether they tend to establish a common scheme, plan, or design.””
