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 121 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. ““Mr. McMullin [defense counsel] said he was going to put on evidence in his opening statement and he didn’t do that. So you can throw out everything he said in his opening statement, because he didn’t put on any evidence. And, members of the jury, that’s what we’re talking about here. The instruc- tion says, ‘The opening statements of attorneys are not evidence.’ Where is your evidence, Mr. McMullin? What do you do when you don’t have a defense [[Image here]] You badger, you cross-examine, you yell and scream at the State’s witnesses because that’s all you can do.” 753 S.W.2d at 920-21 .”
