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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[T]he admissibility of testimonial evidence is left to the sound discretion of the trial court within the boundaries of the Mississippi Rules of Evidence, and it will not be found in error unless it is has abused its discretion.” Harris v. State, 861 So.2d 1008, 1018 (¶ 41) (Miss.2003). Furthermore, the Mississippi Supreme Court has held that a relevant statement made by a murder victim prior to his death may be admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule under the declarant’s then-existing mental condition, or state of mind exception under [Rule] 808(3). Brown v. State, 890 So.2d 901, 914-15 (¶¶ 42-46) (Miss.2004); Harris, 861 So.2d at 1019 (¶ 42).”
