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.
“Applying [the Downing ] standard to the proffered evidence, the Court concludes that its admission would serve no helpful purpose in the case. The factors cited by [defendant’s expert] for his opinion (the photo is less glossy; has a darker background; scratches, etc.) are all discernable by the jury without the need of expert evidence. These matters are fully capable of being developed upon cross-examination and argument by counsel.”
