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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When a Jackson-Denno hearing is held and the defendant is offered the opportunity to present evidence contradictory to the state’s prima facie case of voluntariness, the trial court must rule the confession either in or out of evidence. But if the opportunity is offered and no evidence attacking the veracity of the confession is produced, it is properly admitted.”
