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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The grand juiy does not sit to determine the truth of the charges brought against a defendant, but only to determine whether there is probable cause to believe them true, so as to require him to stand trial. Because of this limited function, we have held that an indictment is not invalidated by the grand jury’s consideration of hearsay, ... or by the introduction of evidence obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment.... While the presentation of inadmissible evidence at trial may pose a substantial threat to the integrity of that factfinding process, its introduction before the grand jury poses no such threat.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Under circumstances where it can reasonably be inferred that the prosecuting attorney has an interest in the outcome of a criminal prosecution beyond ordinary dedication to his duty to see that justice is done, the prosecuting attorney should be disqualified from prosecuting the case_” Syl. pt. 4, in part, State v. Knight, 168 W.Va. 615 , 285 S.E.2d 401 (1981).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Before a trial court conditions its recommendation for a defendant’s parole upon the defendant’s payment of statutory fines, costs and attorney’s fees, the trial court must consider the financial resources of the defendant, the defendant’s ability to pay and the nature of the burden that the payment of such costs will impose upon the defendant.”
