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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “Under our remand order, the question of whether the statement was admissible under Rule 803(24) was not properly before the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals’ endeavor to analyze the admissibility of this statement in the context of Rule 803(24) stepped outside the scope of this Court’s remand order. In light of this, we disavow the reasoning of the Court of Appeals on the issue of the admissibility of the accomplice's statement under Rule 803(24), and reverse their decision.”

2. “In the instant cause the Court of Appeals has yet to decide whether the statement in issue was made ‘in furtherance of what appellant concedes was an ongoing conspiracy. We therefore remand this cause to that court for reconsideration of appellant’s first point of error.”
