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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) The allegations that a burglary had occurred were not supported by allegations that the person who reported it to the affiant spoke with personal knowledge or by allegations of facts from which such personal knowledge could be reasonably inferred. (2) The report of a burglary having been committed was hearsay in the ear of the affiant. (3) The affidavit contained no allegations of facts within the affiant’s knowledge as to the credibility of the person who reported the burglary. (4) The affidavit did not affirmatively allege that Mrs. Miller spoke with personal knowledge that the defendant had given the stolen article to her husband, nor did it allege any facts within her personal knowledge from which it could be fairly inferred that she did, in fact, have personal knowledge of the gift transaction. (5) The affidavit contained no allegations of facts within the affiant’s knowledge as to the credibility of Mrs. Miller.”
