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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the type of vacillation exhibited by the defendant in this case may tax judicial patience, prudence suggests that regardless of the legal sufficiency of the motion to reopen, whenever a criminal defendant announces a belated desire to testify, a new colloquy should be conducted, and, if the request is made before closing argument and before the state presents its rebuttal case, the defendant should be allowed to tell the jury his or her side of the story. As with all issues that are subject to a fact specific analysis, the results of appellate review can be less than predictable. Accordingly, in the interest of finality and the justice system’s primary goal of seeking the truth, a presentation of all the evidence should always be encouraged.”
