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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Where the defendant does not testify and there is no other factual basis to support a defense of extreme emotional disturbance, that defense cannot be bootstrapped into the evidence by an expert opinion premised primarily on out-of-court information furnished by the defendant.... To permit this type of evidence would allow a defendant to testify by proxy without being subjected to the crucible of cross-examination. The objection to [the expertj’s testimony was properly sustained and Appellant’s request for jury instructions on extreme emotional disturbance ... was properly denied.”
