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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Tex.R.CRIM.Evid. 801(e)(1)(C) changed the law concerning bolstering. Rule 801(e)(1)(C) provides a statement is not hearsay and is admissible if the declarant testifies and is subject to cross-examina tion concerning the statement, and the statement is one of identification of a person made after perceiving him. [The complainant], the declarant, testified and was subject to cross-examination. [The complainant’s] statement was one of identification of a person made after perceiving him. Under these circumstances, bolstering is no longer a valid objection.”
