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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) a modus operands which is but one means of establishing identity ... or (2) a plan to commit one offense as part of a grand scheme to commit others, such as a theft of nitroglycerine for use in blowing open a safe. In the latter sense, the other crimes evidence in a separate prosecution of appellant for sexual contact with one child—evidence of similar contact with a different child—would not be relevant because it would not tend to prove that kind of common scheme.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]n a jury trial, “a defendant charged with similar, but unrelated offenses is entitled to a severance where he establishes that the evidence as to each individual offense would not be mutually admissible at separate trials.” Indeed, where the evidence at a joint jury trial is not mutually admissible because of “other crimes” evidence, there is prejudice as a matter of law which compels separate trials, (citation omitted) (emphasis in original).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Appellant never asserted a defense of accident or mistake; the only disputed issue in each case was whether there had been any touching of any ... intimate parts. The combined testimony of the three alleged victims might very well have tended to disprove any defense based on accident or mistake, but since no such defense was asserted, there was no material fact to be established by the “other crimes” evidence. (emphasis supplied).”
