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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[Appellant’s Counsel]: Detective Bradley, obviously, is the only witness, as a result of this hearing, who had any direct contact with either of the defendants. The arrest team clearly did not and they came after the fact, and their actions were based only upon what Detective Bradley said and nothing else. The detective seemed unclear when I tried to probe him on where my client was in relation to Mr. Peaks. He seemed unclear — I think what was clearly established is that they were not together, that the defendants were not together. Taking his testimony in the light most favorable to the State, [appellant] was in some proximity. The State’s theory is that these two gentlemen were working together that day on the 5th of August in a preplanned drug transaction where one would have been the seller and one was the director, but, yet, they’re not standing together. I think that came out clearly, although there was a command by one of the defendants to get the attendance of the other. I think that there is some issue here in terms of probable cause as to whether the State has proven that my client was acting in concert with Mr. Peaks. Obviously, the detective’s testimony is that he was served with drugs by my client. That goes to credibility, if the Court believes that testimony, and I would submit on that, Your Honor.”

His counsel argued that appellant was coerced into making his statements by physical force and threat, however, and did not present an argument based on Miranda.”
