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 17 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Generally, whether evidence is relevant and whether its probative value outweighs its inflammatory and prejudicial dangers are for the trial court to decide, and the trial court’s decision will not be disturbed unless its discretion is abused_ A fact that tends to corroborate evidence relevant to a material issue is relevant evidence although it may not alone be probative of an ultimate fact.... Due process does not require that all relevant evidence be received into evidence, ... and a trial court has discretion to refuse highly prejudicial albeit relevant evidence.... Nevertheless, this Court has said many times that relevance, not prejudice, is the touchstone of due process.”
