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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the record is adequate to review the alleged claim of error; (2) the claim is of constitutional magnitude alleging the violation of a fundamental right; (3) the alleged constitutional violation clearly exists and clearly deprived the defendant of a fair trial; and (4) if subject to harmless error analysis, the state has failed to demonstrate harmlessness of the alleged constitutional violation beyond a reasonable doubt. . . . The first two steps . . . address the reviewability of the claim, while the last two steps involve the merits of the claim.” (Emphasis in original; internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Johnson, 71 Conn. App. 272, 287-88 , 801 A.2d 890 , cert. denied, 261 Conn. 939 , 808 A.2d 1133 (2002), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 1207 , 123 S. Ct. 1286 , 154 L. Ed. 2d 1052 (2003).”
