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.
“Defendant has a right to confront and cross-examine an adverse witness unless the trial court “specifically finds good cause for not allowing confrontation”. There was no effort by the trial prosecutor to provide a factual predicate for this “good cause” exception to confrontation. There was no specific finding by the trial court that there was good cause for not allowing confrontation.”
