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 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

  1. “[E]vidence will not be suppressed unless it has been obtained as a consequence of the officer's unlawful conduct.... The evidence must be such that it would not have been obtained but for the unlawful conduct of the investigating officer.”
    3 later decisions quote this exact passage
  2. “the collection of the evidence obtained ... was not causally related to the statutory violations ... because [the statutes requiring return of inventory of evidence obtained from a person subject to nontestimonial identification procedures] focus on policies to be followed after samples are taken ... [and] are not related to obtaining the samples.”
    1 later decision quote this exact passage
  3. “is obtained as a result of a substantial violation of the provisions of [Chapter 15A of our General Statutes].”
