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 58 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““‘Assuming that the exclusionary rule has a deterrent effect on proscribed police conduct, sufficient deterrence flows when the evidence in question is made unavailable to the prosecution in its case in chief.’ Harris v. New York, 401 U.S. 222, 225 , 28 L. Ed. 2d 1, 4 , 91 S. Ct. 643, 645 (1971). In Morrissey v. Brewer supra, the Court expressed the view that ‘the [revocation] process should be flexible enough to consider evidence ... that would not be admissible in an adversary criminal trial.’ Id. 489, 92 S. Ct. 2604 .””
