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.
“... the Bittman Court went on to further explain a court is not obligated to accept testimony as true merely because there is no direct testimony contradicting it, " where it contains inherent probabilities or contradictions which alone, or in connection with other circumstances in evidence, justify an inference that the evidence is false." (Emphasis in original).”
