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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[W]e must determine whether the evidence supports the court’s factual findings and whether the legal conclusions drawn from those findings were legitimate. This determination is made considering only the evidence of the prosecution’s witnesses and so much of the defense evidence as, fairly read in the context of the record as a whole, remains uncontradicted. Findings supported by the record and legitimate legal conclusions drawn therefrom will not be disturbed, [internal citations omitted]”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Finally, we note that while Officer Hicks admitted, upon cross-examination, that he never informed Appellant that she was free to leave, contrary to Appellant’s assertion on appeal, Hicks never testified that Appellant was not free to leave. Moreover, Appellant’s own testimony at the suppression hearing does not indicate that she ever expressed a desire to leave or to end the interview.”
