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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “(1) only the victim and the defendant were present when the offense was committed; (2) only the defendant could present a “full version of [his] theory of the facts”; (3) the defendant’s testimony could not be impeached by prior criminal convictions; (4) the defendant could give an account of the relationship with the victim; (5) the attorney had let in objectionable, prejudicial testimony with the intention of clarifying it with the testimony of the defendant.”
