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.
“officers may ask questions designed to clarify whether the suspect intended to invoke his right to remain silent. [Cits.] The rule, however, permits "clarification," not questions that ... are designed to, or operate to, delay, confuse, or burden the suspect in his assertion of his rights.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“If the [person in custody] indicates in any manner, at any time prior to or during questioning, that he wishes to remain silent, the interrogation must cease. At this point he has shown that he intends to exercise his Fifth Amendment privilege; any statement taken after the person invokes his privilege cannot be other than the product of compulsion, subtle or otherwise.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Lucas v. State“By his plea of guilty, the defendant undoubtedly waived any such issue concerning his conviction. See LaFave and Israel, Criminal Procedure, ch. 20, § 20.6(a) (Rights Waived or Forfeited by Plea) (Vol II, West 1984). But we do not find that he “waived the use of an inadmissible statement at the sentencing phase of [this death-penalty] trial.””
