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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where the 404(b) evidence is offered to prove intent, the test requires that the prior bad act have some connection with the defendant’s intent to commit the charged crime. Otherwise the evidence tends to prove only a propensity to commit crime—that the defendant was a bad guy in the past and presumably still is.”
