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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“After conducting a hearing on a motion to suppress, a trial court should make findings of fact that will support its conclusions as to whether the evidence is admissible. If there is no conflict in the evidence on a fact, failure to find that fact is not error. Its finding is implied from the ruling of the court.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[a] finding may be implied by the trial court's denial of defendant's motion to suppress where the evidence is uncontradicted.”
