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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Miranda principles come into play only when there is a privilege against self-incrimination guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This privilege applies in the case where there is custodial interrogation of an accused ... but we have never found it applicable where the evidence obtained from the accused is not of a testimonial or communicative nature. 284 S.E.2d at 922 .”
