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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The in-court testimony of a witness obtained by these means when he must surrender himself immediately after to those persons who tortured him, does not comport with due process.
