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.
“The right of ‘compulsory process’ implies that the prosecution on request and the trial courts have some duty to apply the state’s resources and power in appropriate circumstances to ensure a fair trial, especially where the defendant is indigent. This conception is certainly consonant with long-established principles of due process. The prosecution’s constitutional duty to disclose exculpatory material statements of witnesses on the defendant’s request, Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 , 83 S.Ct. 1194 , 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963); Moore v. Illinois, 408 U.S. 786 , 92 S.Ct. 2562 , 33 L.Ed.2d 706 (1972), is clearly within the sphere of influence of the Sixth Amendment’s compulsory process guarantee.”
