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.

““• • .[W]here the objects are more or less interchangeable and have no special characteristics, the problem of establishing identity usually involves some evidence as to a chain of custody.... One white pill looks much like any other white pill and hence positive identification simply by observation is usually impossible. To identify a particular item of this t[y]pe as being part of a pertinent incident in the past usually requires the showing of a continuous chain of custodians up to the material moment.” (Énfasis suplido.)”
