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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[a] child is not presumed to be dishonest and should be viewed as truthful as any other witness. It is not improper to reject an instruction telling the jury to receive with caution the testimony of a child of tender years. If the jury is to be instructed at all with respect to the testimony of the child, it should be told to view the testimony in light of the child’s age and understanding, not his veracity.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Although the court did not conduct a preliminary investigation of the child to determine competency, it was not required to do so.”
