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 98 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Miranda was focused upon the private and secret interrogation of a suspect in an isolated environment completely controlled by law enforcement officials. [Citation omitted]. Isolation is the key aspect of the custodial interrogation under Miranda. [Citation omitted]. “In this setting, the police have immediate control over the suspect-they can restrain him and subject him to their questioning and apply whatever psychological techniques they think will be most effective.” [Citation omitted]. It is much easier, in such a setting, for investigators, intent upon obtaining a confession, to crush a suspect’s will.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. JAVIER M.“The “indicia of distinctness” include the separation between the illegal acts by either time or physical distance, “the quality and nature” of the individual acts, and the objectives and results of each act. Distinctness may also be established by the existence of an intervening event, the defendant’s intent as evinced by his or her conduct and utterances, the number of victims, and the behavior of the defendant between acts.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrencee.g. State v. Barrera“In a supercharged setting like an armed standoff between a criminal suspect and police, such a requirement could have devastating consequences. Telling a suspect that anything they [sic] say could be used against him in a court of law could undermine the trust that must be established between the suspect and the negotiator. It could escalate the dangers of a situation that might otherwise be resolved peacefully.”
