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 121 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[mJulti-ple convictions ... are barred by the rule ... that 'before the court may enter judgment and impose sentence upon multiple counts, the facts giving rise to the various offenses must be independently supportable, separate and distinct.'”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage““[T]he doctrine of entrapment ‘does not extend to acts of inducement on the part of a private citizen who is not an officer of the law.’ [Citations omitted.] Where a third party, who does not know the true identity of the Government agent, unwittingly leads the Government agent to the defendant, there is no entrapment because it is the third party who induces the initial violation, not the Government agent. Therefore, the Government is not ‘the initiator of the defendant’s illegal acts in the sense of having induced the defendant to do what the defendant would otherwise not have been willing to do.’ [Citations omitted.] ””
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[the Double Jeopardy clause is assurance that the State will not be allowed to make repeated attempts to convict an aceused for the same offense.”
