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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Brenda Gibson’s statements on the tapes were not hearsay because her statements were not offered for the truth of the matter asserted. Her statements were not offered or intended to be substantive evidence. The purpose of her comments was to elicit statements from the defendant. As in Jones , the state did not ask the jury to believe what she said on the tapes. The state’s primary objective was to bring before the jury the statements made by the defendant.”
