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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t cannot now be said that in order to be admissible as against a hearsay objection, an out-of-court statement of a co-conspirator need only be in the course or merely somehow “related to” the conspiracy. Some substance must be given to the rule’s requirement, not only that the statement was made “in the course” of the conspiracy, but also that it was made “in furtherance” thereof.”

State““In the instant cause the Court of Appeals has yet to decide whether the statement in issue was made ‘in furtherance of’ what appellant concedes was an ongoing conspiracy. We therefore remand this cause to that court for reconsideration of appellant’s first point of error.” 5”
