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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A party who fails to make a contemporaneous objection at trial must rely on plain error to raise the issue on appeal because it is otherwise procedurally barred. Williams v. State, 794 So.2d 181, 187 (¶ 23) (Miss.2001). “The plain error doctrine requires that there be an error and that the error must have resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice.” Id. at 187 . “Further, [the] Court applies the plain error rule only when it affects a defendant’s substantive/fundamental rights.” Id. The plain error doctrine has been construed to include anything that “seriously affects the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings.” McClain v. State, 929 So.2d 946, 951 (¶ 10) (Miss.Ct.App.2005) (citing United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732 , 113 S.Ct. 1770 , 123 L.Ed.2d 508 (1993)).”
