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 187 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]as it clearly established in 1979 and 1980 that police could not withhold from prosecutors exculpatory information about fingerprints and the conduct of a lineup? ... The answer is yes.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the dissent“the existence of a tort claim [for malicious prosecution] under state law knocks out any constitutional theoxy of malicious prosecution.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“If officers are not candid with prosecutors, then the prosecutors’ deeisions-al-though vital to the causal chain in a but-for sense-are not the important locus of action. Pressure must be brought to bear elsewhere. Prosecutors kept in the dark by the police (and not negligent in failing to hire other persons to investí- gate the police) won’t improve their performance with or without legal liability for their conduct. Requiring culpable officers to pay damages to the victims of their actions, however, holds out promise of both deterring and remediating violations of the Constitution.”
