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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ ‘. . . we hold that each case must be considered on its own facts, and that convictions based on eyewitness identification at trial following a pretrial identification by photograph will be set aside on that ground only if the photographic identification procedure was so impermissibly suggestive as to give rise to a very substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification. This standard accords with our resolution of a similar issue in Stovall v. Denno, 388 U.S. 293, 301-302 , 87 S.Ct. 1967, 1972-1973 , 18 L.Ed.2d 1199, 1206 , and with decisions of other courts on the question of identification by photograph.’ (Our emphasis) “. . . Upon reviewing the procedure used in the instant case, we cannot say it ‘was so impermissibly suggestive as to give rise to a very substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification.’ The method and language used by the officer in no way indicated that he desired any certain result. Upon viewing the photographs contained in the transcript we note that no great age differential is apparent among the five men, nor does appellant’s complexion or hair color seem markedly different from the others. . . .””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““Since the extra-judicial identification was not improper it follows that the in-court identification could not then be considered tainted. . . . There is thus no merit to appellant’s contention that this identification denied him due process of law.””
