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 131 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In Agee v. State, 185 So.2d 671 (Miss. 1966), the Court stated the rule that when a defendant rebuts the presumption of voluntariness of a confession after a witness for the State has testified thereto, all officers present when the confession was made must be introduced, or an adequate reason for their absence must be given. In Hicks v. State, 355 So.2d 679 (Miss. 1978), one witness to part of the interrogation of the defendant was not present at the trial, and this Court said: "The mere statement by Payne that Hargrove was at the FBI Academy in Washington receiving some training, without more, does not negate his availability as a witness." 355 So.2d at 680 . We are of the opinion that under the facts of this case, the explanation that Officer Lott was on vacation in the State of Arkansas was not a sufficient explanation of his absence, and that the State should not have announced ready for trial until the witness was present. [ 360 So.2d at 1245-46 ].”
