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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]e have long accepted three general exceptions to exclusion of this type of tainted evidence. In State v. Allies, 186 Mont. 99, 117 , 606 P.2d 1043, 1052-53 (1979), we noted that “fruit of the poisonous tree” is admissible: (1) if it is attenuated from the constitutional violation so as to remove its primary taint (Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471, 487-88 , 83 S. Ct. 407, 417 (1963)); (2) if it is obtained from a source independent of the defendant’s confession (Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States, 251 U.S. 385, 392 , 40 S. Ct. 182, 183 (1920)); or (3) if it is inevitable that the evidence would have been discovered apart from the defendant’s confession. Government of Virgin Islands v. Gereau, 502 F.2d 914, 927-38 (3d Cir. 1974).”
