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.
“Although we agree that the trial court minimized the prejudicial impact by limiting impeachment evidence to the mere fact that appellant had a prior felony conviction, we believe admission in this instance was error. As previously noted, the probative value of appellant’s prior conviction on the issue of credibility was slight. Moreover, the prejudicial effect, while mitigated, could have allowed the jury to unnecessarily speculate as to the type of felony actually committed. As such, the unfair prejudicial effect of the prior conviction outweighed its probative value.”
