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

  1. “[T]he violation here was substantial and undeniably had a negative effect on defense counsel's ability to properly prepare for trial. At the time defense counsel was preparing for trial and assessing the evidence against his client, there were no eyewitnesses. Green's changed testimony immediately changed the type of case defense counsel was dealing with. With an eyewitness to the crime, defense counsel's strategy would surely be different.”
