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.
“Here, when placed in context, the record does not support appellant's contention that the trial court's remarks and cited conduct were intended to, nor had the effect of, coercing C.M. to alter her testimony. Rather, the record shows that the trial court engaged in the conduct to protect the rights of an unrepresented minor, who was subject to pending juvenile charges, and to insure that C.M. was not pressured or manipulated by her mother to take the blame for the offense. Nor was the tenor of the trial court's questions and remarks directed at C.M. overbearing or coercive. Rather, the trial court's tenor was inquisitive and cautious with the apparent focus being to insure that C.M. understood the incriminating effect of her testimony and to make certain that C.M.'s waiver of her right against self-incrimination was made intelligently, voluntarily, and independent of her mother's influence.”
