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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While it is true that the appellant strongly intimates that he was coerced by the presence of this policeman on the day of the alleged oral confession, the fact nevertheless remains that the appellant categorically denied making any confession whatsoever. This can be found on pages 230 and 333 of the record. This, of course, resolves the issue of whether or not the appellant freely and voluntarily confessed his participation in the robbery of the bank of Beaumont. [ 267 So.2d at 905 ].”
