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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The prior acts of abuse presented by the State tend to show [the defendant] has intended harm to [victim] in the past, which might be logically relevant to discredit any assertion by [the defendant] of accident or self-defense. However, [the defendant] never claimed accident or self-defense. He never denied attacking [victim]. Evidence of bad acts or uncharged crimes is only admissible “if it is highly relevant to a legitimate issue in the case.””
