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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“At the hearing, the social workers were permitted to testify, over [the] respondent's objections, as to his wife's out-of-court statements to them that respondent did not properly care for the children, excessively disciplined them, abused illegal drugs and alcohol in their presence, and was violent in his behavior. [The r]espondent argues that these statements should have been excluded under Rule 802 in that they are hearsay, not within any exception. We disagree. [The mother] was a party to this action which was brought to determine whether her child [ ] was abused and neglected. Her statements to the social workers about [respondent's] conduct can only be reasonably considered as admissions by her that [the juvenile] was subjected to conduct in her presence which could be found to be abusive and neglectful. Within the context of this juvenile petition case, we hold that her statements were properly admitted pursuant to the provisions of Rule 801(d).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Rule 702 of the North Carolina Rules of Evidence governs the admissibility of expert testimony. It states: If scientific, technical or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education, may testify thereto in the form of an opinion. Our courts construe this Rule to admit expert testimony when it will assist the factfinder in drawing certain inferences from facts, and the expert is better qualified than the factfinder to draw such inferences. A trial court is afforded wide latitude in applying Rule 702 and will be reversed only for an abuse of discretion.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“gives written notice stating [its] intention to offer the statement and the particulars of it ... to the adverse party sufficiently in advance of offering the statement to provide the adverse party with a fair opportunity to prepare to meet the statement.”
