These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“MR. PATTERSON: I refuse — I’m telling the jury right now, I refuse to conduct this case in this courtroom after what has been said by the Court to my client while the jury was in the jury box. THE COURT: Continue the trial, Mr. Patterson. MR. PATTERSON: I am making no further objections; I remove myself from the case. I remove myself from the case. THE COURT: Mr. Patterson— MR. PATTERSON: He doesn't have an attorney. THE COURT: Mr. Patterson, have a seat. MR. LA BRET: Your Honor, I’ve turned the witness over to Mr. Patterson. THE COURT: Mr. Patterson, do you have any questions of this witness? MR. PATTERSON: I am no longer this man's attorney. If the Court is going to conduct a trial in this fashion, I am no longer the attorney. THE COURT: Do you have any questions of this witness? MR. PATTERSON: Mr. Jamison, Mr. Allen, you can arrest me if he tells you to arrest me, if I walk out this door. I know damn well I can be arrested when I walk out that door. THE COURT: Are you going to continue the trial? MR. PATTERSON: No. THE COURT: Do you have any questions of this witness? MR. PATTERSON: I move for a mistrial. THE COURT: Motion denied. Call the next witness. MR. LA BRET: I believe that concludes our witnesses, your Honor, for today. We have two or three witnesses who will conclude our portion of the trial. THE COURT: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Return to this courtroom at 9:00 o’clock and we’ll continue the trial tomorrow.”
