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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“This court cited Nix with approval in Mitchell v. State, 294 Ark. 264 , 742 S.W.2d 895 (1988), where we stated, “[t]he state must prove the ‘inevitable discovery’ would have occurred by a preponderance of the evidence.” We find the standard adopted by the Supreme Court in 1984 well suited to the task of securing the goals of the exclusionary rule while assuring that the police are not placed in “a worse position than they would have been in if no unlawful conduct had transpired.” Nix v. Williams, 467 U.S. 431, 445 , 104 S.Ct. 2501, 2509-2510 (1984).”
