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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Defendant has failed to show the testimony was unanticipated, he was surprised and harmed, or that the state intended to disadvantage him. The testimony of the victim’s sister at trial was basically the same as her earlier statements to the police and was cumulative of testimony by other witnesses. Thus, the trial court did not abuse its discretion and defendant’s point is without merit.”
