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 57 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Appellant ... argues that the prior felony conviction should not have been found true because it was proven by inadmissible hearsay evidence. He contends that the certified copy of the May 21, 1976, minute order which was used to prove the prior conviction was inadmissible hearsay because the conviction was entered after a no contest plea, and thus, did not fall within Rules of Evidence, Rule 803(22). We reject appellant’s argument. Rule 803(22) expressly provides a hearsay exception for the use of former judg- mente “to prove any fact essential to sustain the judgment.” The State did not offer the former judgment to prove facts supporting the judgment. Rather, the certified copg of the minute entrg was offered to prove the fact of the prior conviction. Thus, Rule 803(22) is not applicable.”
