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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As a general rule, contradictory evidence may not be admitted if it relates to a collateral matter. If a matter is considered collateral, the testimony of the witness on direct or cross-examination stands-the examiner must take the witness's answer. If the matter is not collateral, extrinsic evidence may be introduced disputing the witness's testimony on direct or cross-examination.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Morgan v. State · Milligan v. State“[wle need not decide which [rule of admissibility] applies.... Because the state interjected the [possibly collateral issue] into the case and made its occurrence a central part of the case against Worthy, the issue became independently relevant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the dissente.g. Loncar v. Gray“No error in cither the admission or the exclusion of evidence ... is ground for granting a new trial or for setting aside a verdict ... unless refusal to take such action appears to the court inconsistent with substantial justice.”
