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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Officer Thomas’s testimony that the offenses in question occurred within the district of Honolulu ... is incompetent as a matter of law. Logically, this must be the case because: (1) pursuant to Hawaii Rules of Evidence (HRE) Rule 602 [ (1993) ], testimony by witnesses must be based on personal knowledge; and (2) personal knowledge of the boundaries of the Honolulu district is impossible to attain where, as in eases such as this, there has been no showing that official district boundaries possessing sufficient specificity exist. Thus, Officer Thomas’s testimony, wholly independent of the matter of credibility, is simply not probative regarding venue.”
