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 99 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “In reviewing the issues that Woods raises, an appellate court examines two determinations made by the trial court, but applies a different standard of review to each. First, the trial court determines the evidentiary or historical facts relevant to the issue in this case, namely, the circumstances surrounding the giving of the oral statement. Second, the trial court then applies those facts to resolve the constitutional questions .... The standard of review by the appellate court of the trial court’s findings of evidentiary or historical facts is that those findings will not be upset on appeal unless they are contrary to the great weight and clear preponderance of the evidence. [Citation omitted.] This standard of review does not apply, however, to the trial court’s determination of constitutional questions. Instead, the appellate court independently determines the questions of “constitutional” fact.”

If there is evidence that police are taking subtle advantage of a person's personal characteristics, that may be a form of coercion. The other cases cited by the state support this view. In Michels, this court stated that voluntariness under the totality of the circumstances requires a balancing of the defendant's characteristics against the "pressures imposed on him or her by the police in order to induce him [or her] to respond to the questioning.”
