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 288 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“* * * the record before us contains no evidence that appellants [sic] signed jury waiver form was ever included in the trial courts case file. * * * The trial court issued an entry specifically acknowledging that appellant had, in fact, waived his right to trial by jury. However, we find that there was a failure to strictly comply with R.C. 2945.05 , since there is no evidence that appellants [sic] signed waiver form was ever filed and made part of the record in this case.”
