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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[E]vidence of other crimes by the defendant is admissible when relevant to (1) motive, (2) intent, (3) the absence of mistake or accident, (4) a common scheme or plan embracing the commission of two or more crimes so related to each other that proof of the one tends to establish the other, (5) the identity of the person charged with the commission of the crime on trial, and (6) other similar issues." 94 Idaho at 230, 486 P.2d at 85 (citations omitted).

4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Sharp · State v. Izatt““9-1209., Impeachment by adverse party. —A witness may be impeached by the party against whom he was called, . . . but not by evidence of particular wrongful acts, except that it may be shown by the examination of the witness, or the record of the judgment, that he had been convicted of a felony.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Dayley · Palmer v. State“In spite of any instruction which a jury may be given, specifically limiting the consideration which the jury may or should give to evidence concerning an accused’s prior criminal record, a defendant would be prejudiced in the jury’s eyes for having committed those past crimes; and he well may be found guilty on the basis of this past record rather than on the evidence presented during the particular trial. Additionally, unless the scope of the inquiry into his past record is limited, a defendant may decide not to exercise his right to take the witness stand in his own defense because of his fear of resulting prejudice when the jury learns of the details of his prior criminal record. 94 Idaho at 229, 486 P.2d at 84 .”
