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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"Immunity to an unreasonable search and seizure is a personal privilege to the one whose right has been invaded, and he only is entitled to invoke the constitutional guaranty against unlawful search and seizure. Generally, an accused cannot protest a wrongful search and seizure of premises or property which he does not own or lease or lawfully occupy or possess or in which he has no interest. See Mixon v. State, Fla. 1951, 54 So.2d 190 ; * * *"”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"Guilt cannot be founded upon a naked extra-judicial confession or admission unsupported by proof of the corpus delicti of the crime. See Tucker v. State, 1912, 64 Fla. 518 , 59 So. 941 ; Parrish v. State, 1925, 90 Fla. 25 , 105 So. 130 ; and Smith v. State, 1927, 93 Fla. 238 , 112 So. 70 . There was no independent proof of the corpus delicti. The judgment concerning the appellant Alexander must therefore be reversed and set aside."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"A search and seizure illegal in its inception cannot be purified into legality by nature of the fruit which it produces, for the products of the wrongful search carry the taint of the illegal search and therefore cannot be used as evidence against the victim."”
