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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Favorable evidence is any evidence that, if disclosed and used effectively, may make the difference between conviction and acquittal. It includes both exculpatory and impeachment evidence. Exculpatory evidence is testimony or other evidence which tends to justify, excuse or clear the defendant from alleged fault or guilt. Impeachment evidence is that which is offered to dispute, disparage, deny, or contradict.”
