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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“1. the newly discovered evidence was unknown to the movant at the time of his trial; 2. the movant’s failure to discover the evidence was not due to his want of diligence; 3. the materiality of the evidence is such as would probably bring about a different result in another trial; and 4. the evidence is admissible, and not merely cumulative, corroborative, collateral, or impeaching.”
