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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(a) [t]he court is reasonably well satisfied that the testimony given by a material witness is false[;] (b) [t]he jury might have reached a different conclusion absent the false testimony or if it had known that testimony by a material witness was false[; and] (c) [t]he party seeking the new trial was taken by surprise when the false testimony was given and was unable to meet it or did not know of its falsity until after the trial.”
