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 44 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘Under the Fourteenth Amendment due process voluntariness test, a case-by-case evaluation approach is employed to determine whether coercion was impermissibly used in obtaining a confession. Coercion in obtaining a confession from an accused can be mental as well as physical. In determining the voluntariness of a confession of crime, the question in each case is whether die defendant’s will was overborne at the time of the confession; if so, the confession cannot be deemed the product of a rational intellect and a free will’ ” (quoting State v. Waugh, 238 Kan. 537, 541 , 712 P.2d 1243 [1986]).”
