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 122 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[i]n light of the gravity of the crime involved, [armed bank robbery and conspiracy to rob a bank,] weighed against the other five section 5032 factors, we cannot say that the district court struck the balance improperly.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“any results or reports ... of scientific tests or experiments.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“A prosecution witness who had testified differently in the past was introduced by the prosecution. It was not improper for the prosecution to offer this testimony. Presentation of a witness who recants or contradicts his prior testimony is not to be confused with eliciting perjury. It was for the jury to decide whether or not to credit the witness. There is no evidence that the prosecution knew or believed the trial testimony to be untrue; hence, the conviction was not obtained by the presentation of testimony known to be false.”
