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 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[F]or a confession to be admissible at trial, it must have been intelligently, knowingly, and voluntarily given, and not a product of police threats, promises, or inducements. In determining whether a defendant’s confession was intelligently, knowingly, and voluntarily given, the trial court sits as a finder of fact. Therefore, this Court will reverse the trial court’s determination only when it was manifestly incorrect. A confession is voluntary when, taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances, the statement is the product of the accused’s free and rational choice. The prosecution bears the burden of showing beyond a reasonable doubt that the confession was voluntary.”
