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 184 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Although the state and its representatives have no interest in convicting innocent persons, it would be unrealistic to assume that once charges have been levelled against a specific individual the police will search as zealously for exculpatory evidence as they will for information that might lead to conviction. The witnesses interviewed, the questions asked, and the leads pursued will all be unavoidably affected by the investigator's close relationship with the prosecution.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“`[W]hile acknowledging the wide latitude and discretion necessarily vested in trial counsel in the area of tactics and strategy, we stress that the exercise of that discretion must be a reasonable and informed one in the light of the facts and options reasonably apparent to counsel at the time of trial, and founded upon reasonable investigation and preparation.' [Citation.]”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A] habeas corpus petitioner must first present newly discovered evidence that raises doubt about his guilt; once this is done, he may introduce `any evidence not presented to the trial court and which is not merely cumulative in relation to evidence which was presented at trial' [citation] insofar as it assists in establishing his innocence.”
