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.

“(A) Who may impeach {¶ 122} "The credibility of a witness may be attacked by any party except that the credibility of a witness may be attacked by the party calling the witness by means of a prior inconsistent statement only upon a showing of surprise and affirmative damage. This exception does not apply to statements admitted pursuant to Evid. R. 801(D)(1)(a), 801(D)(2), or 803.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Requiring a showing of affirmative damage is intended to eliminate an `I don't remember' answer or a neutral answer by the witness as a basis for impeachment by a prior inconsistent statement.”
