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 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1)the hearsay evidence is crucial to proving the State’s case, i.e., the evidence is offered to prove an essential element of the crime or it connects the. defendant directly to the commission of the crime; (2) there is no proof that the witness is unavailable, ie., the State must make a good faith effort to secure the presence of the person whose statement is to be offered against the defendant; and (3) the hearsay evidence is lacking its own indicia of reliability.”
