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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Even though the warrant were illegally issued and void, evidence discovered by the search, tending to show appellant's guilt, was admissible under the rule announced by this court in Starchman v. State, 62 Ark. 538 , 36 S.W. 940 , and reiterated and adhered to in the cases of Benson v. State, 149 Ark. 633 , 233 S.W. 758 ; Van Hook v. Helena, 170 Ark. 1083 , 282 S.W. 673 ; Knight v. State, 171 Ark. 882 , 286 S.W. 1013 ; Milton v. Fort Smith, 175 Ark. 694 , 1 S.W.2d 45 . Under the doctrine of all of these cases the admissibility of such evidence is not affected, by the fact that the search warrant was illegally issued, or the officers making the search had no warrant at all and were trespassers.”
