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 38 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“A motion picture of the artificial recreation of an event may unduly accentuate certain phases of the happening, and because of the forceful impression made upon the minds of the jurors by this kind of evidence, it should be received with caution. As pointed out by Wigmore, such a portrayal of an event is apt to cause a person to forget that “it is merely what certain witnesses say was the thing that happened” and may “impress the jury with the convincing impartiality of Nature herself.” (3 Wigmore, Evidence [3rd ed.], § 798a, p. 203) However, when the events which are being photographed consist of a voluntary reenactment by the accused of what occurred, there is little, if any, danger of misleading emphasis which is unfavorable to him. Moreover, as a method of presenting confessions, sound motion pictures appear to have a unique advantage in that, while presenting the admission of guilt, they simultaneously testify to facts relevant to the issue of volition.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is fear of material or physical harm, or hope of material reward, which renders a confession inadmissible... . . A confession voluntarily made, but procured by artifice, falsehood, or deception, is admissible.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“The rule governing admissibility into evidence of photographs applies with equal force to the admission of motion pictures and video tapes. Grant v. State, 171 So.2d 361 (Fla.1965).”
