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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"The affidavit states positively that the reliable informer personally saw appellant's husband in possession of marihuana at the described residence within the past 48 hours, and further the informer had given affiant information recently that proved to be true and correct and upon which convictions had been obtained. In addition to this the affiant had personally observed people coming to and leaving this residence who had the reputation of using marihuana. This affidavit more than meets the `two-prong' test required in Aguilar as to the veracity of the informer and the basis of his knowledge that the drugs were where he said they were."”
