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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““the challenged statements did not im-permissibly invade the province of the jury — nor unfairly comment upon Perry’s failure to call a medical witness— particularly when they are viewed in light of the charge as a whole * * *. Significantly, the trial justice’s challenged statements were indeed accurate. Although Perry faults the trial justice’s timing and placement of these comments * * * we do not believe that this statement served to cancel out or to override all the other instructions the trial justice previously had given to the jury on this subject.” Id. at 626 .”
