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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““This court has consistently held that the granting or denying of a motion of this character is discretionary with the trial court and that the burden of proving an abuse of such discretion is upon the appellant. La Barbera v. State, Fla., 63 So.2d 654 ; Sinclair v. State, 133 Fla. 77 , 182 So. 637 ; Collins v. State, Fla., 83 So.2d 6 . Since the matter of credibility was in the hands of the trial court, and in the light of the admissions made by appellant in his own testimony, it does not appear that the burden has been sustained in this case.””
