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 74 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“a defendant has a right to cross-examine an accomplice as to the nature of any agreement he has with the government or any expectation or hope that he may have that he will be treated leniently in exchange for his cooperation. Davis v. Alaska , 415 U.S. 308 , 315-16 , 94 S.Ct. 1105 , 1109-10 , 39 L.Ed.2d 347 (1974).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“After making its initial exclusionary ruling, the court was persuaded to allow defense counsel to call back Aceto, at considerable expense and trouble to the court and government, ..., so that defense counsel could try to establish out of the jury’s presence a foundation for the claimed hope of leniency.... [Djefense counsel never asked the crit ical question whether the government had made any agreements with respect to the pending charge or whether Aceto had some hope of leniency with respect thereto.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“We may question whether such detail was necessary in order either to explain his being in prison or to make his point that he "was wrongfully incarcerated for 13 years, had no faith in the system, and therefore took to cover when Aceto implicated him.” The simple facts that he was convicted and served 13 years, and that his conviction was finally overturned would seem to serve both purposes sufficiently.”
