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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To be voluntary, the defendant’s statements must result from ‘free and deliberate choice rather than intimidation, coercion, or deception.’ Madrid v. State, 910 P.2d 1340, 1344 (Wyo.1996) Because we presume a defendant’s statements to be involuntary, the burden rests on the State to show, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant’s statements were voluntary. [State v.] Evans, 944 P.2d [1120] at 1126-27 [ (Wyo.1997) ]. Once the State has met its burden and rebutted the presumption of involuntariness, the defendant may be required to present evidence demonstrating the involuntariness of his statements. Id. at 1126. If such statements resulted from coercion, then the statements are inadmissible at trial for any purpose because their validity is suspect. Id. at 1125.””
