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 29 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When the charging document was given to petitioner, containing a false statement of the law with respect to the penalty of death, it was accompanied by an officer’s statement which served no legitimate purpose other than to encourage petitioner to speak. ... We reject the State’s characterization ... that the officer’s statement [“I bet you want to talk now, huh!”] was merely a rhetorical question. The officer’s statement to petitioner could only be interpreted as designed to induce petitioner to talk and it was improper.”
