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.
“... It is well settled that while an expert witness may consider as the basis for his opinion, this does not make the hearsay itself admissible. Put another way, an expert `may not, under the guise of stating the reasons for his opinion, testify to matters in the course of his direct examination unless such matters are admissible under some statutory or other recognized exception to the hearsay rule.'”
