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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It seems-likely that defense counsel consciously chose not to "object to the prose-outer’s misstatements as part of their general strategy of letting the prosecutor discredit himself. At PCR, [Defense Counsel] Williams testified that he had known Prosecutor Cummings for years and knew he was capable of overstating his case to the jury. Trial counsel planned-to correctly state the law to -the jury when it was their turn, have the judge echo their statement through the jury instructions, and hope the jury would decide from the contrast that the prosecutor was not credible.”
