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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The evidence of [complainant’s] previous paternity claim that was proffered in this case had no logical bearing on [complainant’s] bias, prejudice, or motive to fabricate; given its remoteness in time and dissimilarity to the circumstances of the current case, it did not establish a pattern or scheme of falsification on [complainant’s] part. At most, the evidence amounted to character evidence reflecting negatively on [complainant’s] general credibility. As such, however, the evidence of [complainant’s] past misconduct was classic propensity evidence and was therefore inadmissible. A.R.E. 404(b)(1); A.R.E. 608(b). Under A.R.E. 608(a), the Johnsons were free to ask Palmer to state his opinion of [complainant’s] credibility, or to testify as to [complainant’s] reputation for truthfulness. But they had no right to impeach [complainant’s] credibility by recourse to evidence of specific incidents of past misconduct.” Johnson, 889 P.2d at 1081 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Dorsey“Alaska Criminal Rule 16 permits the state to withhold disclosure of records whose contents are potentially discoverable only if a two-step procedure has been met: first, the state must make a threshold showing of good cause to maintain the records' confidentiality; second, if, but only if, such a showing is made, the trial judge must review the records in camera and determine that the material therein is not relevant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Stiffarm v. State“Although relevant, evidence may be excluded if its probative value is outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence.”
