Most-quoted passages

These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 50 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"A promise or inducement for a confession cannot be implied from an exhortation to a prisoner that it is best or better to tell the truth.
