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.
““As explained by the Supreme Court in Murphy, however, an immunity statute need not grant transactional immunity to be constitutional. So long as the government is forced to seek independent evidence to prosecute the witness, he is no worse off for having testified under a grant of immunity than if his claim of privilege was unquestioned in the first instance. If, after a grant of immunity, some other jurisdiction decides to press charges against the witness, it will have the burden of proving that the new evidence it introduces has an independent source . . .””
