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

““MR. GUERRA: We need to swear this witness in. “THE COURT: I am going to go through the whole thing right now. Mr. Rocha, I have been advised that you testified in the case on the guilt and innocence stage of this case, did you not, sir? “MR. ROCHA: Yes, sir. “THE COURT: Did you testify in this case before? “MR. ROCHA: Yes, I did, Your Hon- or. “THE COURT: All right. And someone advised me today that you were not sworn at that time, is that true? “MR. ROCHA: That is correct, sir. “THE COURT: All right. You were not sworn in at any time? “MR. ROCHA: No, sir. “THE COURT: You were not sworn in with the other witnesses out there, or, I, individually, did not swear you in? “MR. ROCHA: No, sir. “THE COURT: All right. Raise your right hand, please. ‘You do solemnly swear that testimony that you are about to give in this case now on trial will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God.’ “MR. ROCHA: Yes, sir. “THE COURT: Let me ask you, under that oath, ‘Do you now affirm all of the testimony that you gave before when you testified?’ “MR. ROCHA: Yes, I do, Your Hon- or.””

““ ‘While the statute requires a witness to be sworn, yet this is a right which defendant can waive. If he desires the witness sworn, diligence requires that he should see to it during the trial. It is too late after verdict to complain for the first time that a witness was not sworn even if the witness testified for the State. Goldsmith v.
