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.

The burden of demonstrating that the action of the trial court resulted in manifest injustice is allocated to the defendant. (Citation omitted.)”
