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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The rule is simple. Certified copies of prior convictions are admissible to impeach a witness who falsely testifies as to the number of crimes for which he has been convicted. See § 90.610(1), Fla. Stat. (2001). The witness testifies falsely when the answer varies from the actual number of prior convictions. Thus, a witness who estimates the number of convictions, either above or below the actual number, testifies falsely and the certified copies are admissible. See Perez v. State, 648 So.2d 715 (Fla.1995). [The witness] testified falsely by giving several different answers to questions regarding his past convictions. This false testimony permits the admission of the certified copies.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Stallworth v. State““It’s been about 5 DUIs.” Defense counsel asked: “DUI is not always a felony, are you counting that as a felony?” [The witness] replied: “Yeah, that’s after so many of them you go [sic], you know, they turn them into felony [sic] now. It’s a felony now if I just drive.” Defense counsel asked: “So you’ve got maybe 5 or 6 or 7 felony convictions?” [The witness] responded: “That’s why I don’t get up under the wheel of a vehicle. If I go anywhere I get somebody to carry me.””
