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 30 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While a party should not normally be permitted to offer additional testimony after announcing the conclusion of its evidence, and certainly should be precluded from introduction of evidence-in-chief after announcing that no rebuttal evidence will be presented, we cannot overlook the probative nature of the evidence so offered and its prior unavailability. If the record demonstrated any bad faith on the part of the Commonwealth, we would not hesitate to hold that the admission of such evidence amounted to an abuse of the trial court's discretion. This not being the case, however, we find no abuse of the trial court's discretion in its application of RCr 9.42(e). [7]”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. MJ v. Com. · M. J. v. Commonwealth“If at any time before trial a defendant moves to suppress ... (b) the fruits of a search, the trial court shall conduct an evidentiary hearing outside the presence of the jury and at the conclusion thereof shall enter into the record findings resolving the essential issues of fact raised by the motion or objection and necessary to support the ruling. If supported by substantial evidence the factual findings of the trial court shall be conclusive.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[a]ppellant has failed to show that the ruling below was not supported by substantial evidence. “In the absence of any showing to the contrary, we assume the correctness of the ruling by the trial court.” It is the duty of a party attacking the sufficiency of evidence to produce a record of the proceeding and identify the trial court’s error in its findings of fact. Failure to produce such a record precludes appellate review.”
