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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A decision by trial defense counsel to introduce during direct examination all of [the accused’s] possible prior convictions is a matter of trial strategy that is not only virtually unchallengeable, but is a very common and wise practice. [The accused’s] defense counsel discussed his pri- or convictions during direct examination, thus the prosecutor was not allowed to cross-examine [the accused] concerning those prior convictions.... [The accused], thus, suffered no prejudice.” (Citation omitted).”
