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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Weaver’s final instance of the alleged ineffectiveness of his trial counsel was his trial counsel’s failure to file a motion for a new trial or a judgment notwithstanding the verdict. We do note that Weaver’s trial counsel did not file a timely notice of appeal, but Weaver was ultimately granted an out-of-time appeal. According to Jackson v. State, 423 So.2d 129, 131 (Miss.1982), where the grounds for an objection on appeal are included in the record, our review on appeal is not necessarily barred for failure to raise the grounds in a motion for a new trial or a JNOV. Even if Weaver’s trial counsel was deficient for failing to file post-trial motions, Weaver has not shown this Court how that deficiency resulted in prejudice to his defense since his issues on appeal were included in the record.”
