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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"[T]he Miranda rule falls far short of encompassing all acts and statements of a defendant. Shy v. State , 234 Ga. 816 , 218 S.E.2d 599 (1975). Threshold inquiries of the type to which appellant apparently objects do not fall within the custodial interrogation protections afforded by the Miranda rule. Shy v. State , supra; Westley v. State , 143 Ga. App. 344 , 238 S.E.2d 701 (1977). "Here, investigating officers merely asked the appellant where the marijuana was hidden, in order to avoid `tearing up the house.' Appellant voluntarily led the officers to the hallway, where he handed them the marijuana. The situation did not require Miranda warnings."”
